To shut down a running Linux system, you must not reboot with the
|
| 11 |
reset switch on the front or back of your computer, or just turn off
|
| 12 |
the computer. Linux must be shut down in a controlled manner,
|
| 13 |
otherwise files may be lost and disk damage incurred. You can press
|
| 14 |
the key combination <keycombo> <keycap>Ctrl</keycap>
|
| 15 |
<keycap>Alt</keycap> <keycap>Del</keycap> </keycombo>
|
| 16 |

|
| 17 |
<keycap>Shift</keycap> <keycap>Power</keycap></keycombo> on Macintosh

systems</phrase>. You may also log in as
|
| 19 |
root and type <userinput>shutdown -h now</userinput>,
|
| 20 |
<userinput>reboot</userinput>, or <userinput>halt</userinput> if
|
| 21 |
either of the key combinations do not work or you prefer to type
|
| 22 |
commands.
