Hi,

Sorry for posting what must seem a silly question .. but what is the command for powering down the Ubuntu server ? I can reboot with ctrl alt del ... but would like to power down ... and not have to switch the "box" off ...

Best regards

Jan

I think it is:

sudo poweroff

sudo halt is another option - for the keystroke-conscious...
