Sounds good. I guess Corinna will fix this in the CVS for a next version. > I also noticed that "shutdown -h" acts differently on Linux. :) Yes, that bugs my for quite some time too, is -h for halt or hibernate? Now the -s is the same as the Windows shutdown.exe. The changes are really straight forward. -b could be the new short option for hibernate, doesn't interfere with the main linux shutdown options or the windows shutdown. Leaving -s as it is for backward/windows compatibility reasons and adding -h, --halt for shutdown and -P, --poweroff. But then, having three options that actually don't do anything, just for the sake of compatibility? EWX_POWEROFF is the default action already. That's why I left those shutdown options as they are. But I gladly write the patch if nobody has objections against changing -h. I'm also considering adding possibility to customize the shutdown message: shutdown -rf 22:00 "Rebooting because of Windows Updates". Who knows... And does anybody ever use that reason thing on the windows shutdown?
