- I believe that the commands listed are: shutdown -r now halt init 6 If you are new to the process of command line I think that running the 3 commands together with no delimiter separating them is a bit confusing. If you already knew what the commands were there would be no need of asking!
- Shut down it was!
- Why not just enter "poweroff" command?
