How to Shutdown your Linux Machine from Terminal

[Microsuck]

Go into .bashrc and add this:

quit ()
        {
            poweroff -d
         }

Then in Terminal, you can type:

sudo quit

I don't understand why you complicate your life with script.
su
halt
or
su
shutdown -h now

very complicated this script and what is this dude.

I usually use sudo shutdown -h now if I can't shut the machine down with the GUI. I don't see why we need a quick command for this.

It's best to memorize commands and use programs that you can use on all linux machines.. that way if you're on someone else's machine - or a machine you've never been on.. you can get whatever it is you want done. Also, learn everything from command line.

shutdown: shutdown -r now

editor: vi / vim

(i'll never install emacs on the linux boxes at work.. at least once/week i hear "aww.. isn't emacs on here?")
