Very Computer

hello!
I am looking for a patch to let sysvinit tools shut down
my box, running 2.2.10 kernel.

any link?

thx

In rc.0, replace

  command="halt"

with

  command="halt -p"

APM must be enabled in the kernel build.

I tried "halt -p" and "poweroff" as root on the console but it only did

a usual halt, even if both manpage and halt --help said there is such

an option -p

My kernel is built with apm support. Any idea whats wrong?

The system normally executes the rc0.d's halt script when typing "halt" or
"poweroff" on the command line. Because the script normally contains
the "halt" command to stop your system, you should replace it by
"halt -p" or "poweroff", and your Linux box should then be able to turn
power off via software.
