It seems there is not such thing as a *general* shutdown command. "Every" distribution has its own. Just picked three: http://linuxmanpages.net/manpages/fedora18/man8/shutdown.8.html http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/precise/man8/shutdown.8.html http://manpages.debian.net/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=shutdown&apropos=0&sektion=8&manpath=Debian+6.0+squeeze&format=html&locale=en Although they all agree on -r -h -H -P -k and -c. Also noticed that the Fedora shutdown doesn't require the time option. It defaults to 1 minute. > Having thought about it bit more, I'd like to suggest an upper case -H as > the option for hibernate. This would still conflict with the -H of the ones above, but I have no problem with it. Anyone against changing hibernate to -H?
