If 'shutdown' is known not to work and, from the FAQ, apparently does
not work by design, why include it? Or, since this is a Unix system
and Unices have shutdown commands, make a tiny shutdown script that
echoes the FAQ text, instead of supplying a known broken command and
assuming someone will consult the FAQ when the command doesn't work
and instead spits out random stuff about a missing file, which sure
looks like a bug.
