Title: Command line shutdown/power off
Post by: EddieA on September 25, 2012, 12:18:20 am

I'm looking at configuring a UPS to shut down my system should it transfer to a UPS.

Is "poweroff" sufficient, or is there a script which will do a controlled shutdown of services prior to a power down.

I should add that this is currently 2.2, but will be moving to 3.0 at some point.

Cheers.

Try the shutdown command:

Code: [Select]

sudo shutdown -h now
You can also give it a time by giving it a time in minutes instead of now above.  This should bring down all the services "nicely".  Good luck!

sudo shutdown -h now

is this correct command to properly shutdown zentyal 5.0 machine?

Hi,

most UPS'es I know have something like a client to do a clean shutdown when the primary powersource fails.
e.g. APC uses "PowerChute"...

Did you think about UPower?
