I have my machine set up so that ctrl-alt-end shuts down.
Add the following lone to /etc/inittab (comment out any
existing kb::kbrequest line):
kb::kbrequest:shutdown -a -h now
I think the default combination for kbrequest signal is
alt-uparrow. To change this, you must modify /etc/kbd/default.m

you can turn it off by merely typing in the word "halt" when you are logged in
as root. wait for the words "power down" to appear and then turn off your
computer.

Note: If you are on a SMP machine, APM will break things badly. So don't
use it then.
Just typing "halt" works on slink. It seems to have all the correct aliases
in now.

Hi Jeff,
I'm rather new also, but in order to use you will
have to
enter that into some file or other. Instead try the command: shutdown.
check out the man, but to use this command be sure to be root. So at the
root
prompt type:
#shutdown -r now
or:
#shutdown -h now
The -r is for reboo
