Hi everyone,
I am curious about how Linux does the shutdown. The kernel send
the TERM signal to all processes when the shutdown is initiated. But
does the kernel wait for the every process to finish before the kernel
halt? If not, will there be data lost then?

Recompile the kernel (with kernel-package) and enable the APM
features.
shutdown -h now will then turn the computer off.

Thats not exactly true (as I pointed out earlier but I
might have accidently not
sent my response ot the list)
actually sync;sync;halt would work fine...under ideal conditions :)
but...under debian linux (and redhat) it will work fine
in fatcyou can just for
HAHA go ahead and use his system tho ;)
sync;sync;halt
is the same as sync;sync;shutdown -h now
on most systems now (at least on both RedHat and Debian it is)
Halt checks the current runlevel..and if the runlevel is not 0 then it executes
shutdown -h now on its own...this is a saftey catch

BUT our system (Netware/Unix) admin (really old and experienced
'wolf') have told me that he's using 'sync;sync;halt' and have tried
to persuade me to use 'his' command.
