answer shutdown safly linux

shutdown safly linux

Comment

Shut down gracefully and immediately
$ shutdown -h now

 

Shut down gracefully after X number of minutes
$ shutdown -P +30 (P stands for Power Off)

This will shut the machine down after 30 minutes. 

 

To shut down at a specific hour run;
$ shutdown -P 3:00

This will shut the machine down at 3:00 AM

 

To cancel a pending/scheduled shutdown just do;
$ shutdown -c

The shutdown command will trigger the proper Init level resulting in the OS gracefully stopping all running services. Any stuck processes will be terminated using a kill -9 command then the machine will halt.
