Hi all,

I'm a little confused. There're lots of ways telling the host to shutdown (=
or=20
reboot).

I usually use "shutdown -h now" to shutdown, as this was the very first=20
command I learned to shutdown.
init is the (hierarichal seen) root process that can also be used to switch=
=20
between the runlevels, though, init 0, to shutdown as well.
Then, I read about telinit, that is to be used to tell init to switch betwe=
en=20
the runlevels.=20
Not to mention halt, reboot, and poweroff.

Any comments?
Christian Parpart.
