Hi Paul,
From man shutdown:
-p The system is halted and the power is turned off (hardware sup=
-
port required) at the specified time.
...
When run without options, the shutdown utility will place the system i=
nto
single user mode at the time specified.
Please subscribe to questi...@freebsd.org if you have other
questions related to FreeBSD usage.
Cheers,
