Hey,

I have a HD install of DSL on a Tecra 500CDT. I use it only with mp3blaster to listen to some webradio stations.

How can I shutdown the laptop over the console, so that the machine really switches off?

Something like shutdown -h now brings the laptop in halt, but it doesn't switch off.

If I'm in a window manager and call the function shutdown (or whatever it the command is called there) over the menu, it works. What is the corresponding command for the console?

Greetings,
Joe

Afaik it calls `shutdown -h now` as well, but within the script.

You could call that script instead (not sure why you get different results) with `exitcheck.sh shutdown`
