Re: shutdown fails to power off host

[Hans <hans.ullrich@loop.de>]

I remember this discussion from sime time ago. Debian has changed a real 
poweroff from "halt" to "halt -p". The second one is according to the manual.

As far as I remeber, "shutdown" is just a wrapper fpr the halt command, but I 
am not quite sure. 

But one thing was cleared: To poweroff a debian systenm, the command "halt -p" 
is recommended.

Besides: This behaviour is also now in kali linux integrated, which was also 
using the command "halt" for a long time. But now it's "halt -p", too, also on 
the livefile.

Best
