I do that too, but with one addition for my server boxes: I have this at the end of /etc/init.d/halt: ---------8<------------------------------- # Beep four times, so operator knows when to power off echo $'\a' sleep 1 echo $'\a' sleep 1 echo $'\a' sleep 1 echo $'\a' halt -d -f -i -p ---------8<------------------------------- That way, it beeps four times immediately before halting, so I know when it's safe to power off without having a monitor attached.
