in Slackware
Hai,
Am using Slackware/Fedora. And in office am using SUSE. In fedora,SUSE, if I give "shutdown -P now" [as root] means the machines are doing shutdown from Xserver as well as from Multi user mode[CLI].
But in Slackware, if I give the same command from Multi user or from Xserver mode, it is giving me the log in prompt, not doing shutdown.
I dont think so, the commands functionality will differ with distros.
And in Slackware , if I press the power button from Xserver, its shutting down, but from Multi user mode, its not sensing the button press.
So, I am switching to Xserver to do proper shutdown.[Since the command, "shutdown -P now" is not working]
So, how can I do proper shutdown from Slackware Multi user mode.

Halt or poweroff
Anyway... you can be in "multi-user" mode and be in X at the same time. That's not related in any way.

"shutdown -P halt" in both runlevels 3 and 4 is just pushing me to init 1 (single user mode).
After reviewing the source for the shutdown program I found that it is written to change the system to runlevel1 and not halt the system. If you wish to actually shutdown the system you can use "shutdown -h now" or poweroff.0 -

but matt, why they changed the command's way of working too?. It is supposed to be common with all distro, right ?0 -

In one plain word: no
That's the beauty of opensource: you can change as many things as you like the way you like
You've hit one of the things that make Slackware a different distro, that's all

The code for sysvinit and shutdown are quite simple you can always modify the code yourself to make it behave as you want and build a custom package.0 -
