Chapter 3. Boot Process, Init, and Shutdown
75
3.8. Shutting Down
To shut down Red Hat Linux, issue the
shutdown
command. You can read the
shutdown
man page
for complete details, but the two most common uses are:
/sbin/shutdown  h now
/sbin/shutdown  r now
You must run
shutdown
as root. After shutting everything down, the
 h
option will halt the machine,
and the
 r
option will reboot.
Non root users can use the
reboot
and
halt
commands to shutdown the system while in runlevels 1
through 5. However, not all Linux operating systems support this feature.
If your computer does not power itself down, be careful not turn off the computer until you see a
message indicating that the system is halted.
Failure to wait for this message means you may be turning off the machine before the hard drive
partitions are unmounted, which can cause file system corruption
