I think the problem was that I did not do "sudo" first.
So I got it with:
sudo halt
A quick search indicates that the other command would have been:
sudo shutdown -h now

Subject: help with shutting down


Hi,
I cannot get this Vinux to shut down.
Somehow I got into the terminal, so the power button does not shut it down.
I tried "shutdown --help"
and I really don't understand the options given
I try 
shutdown now
and
shutdown +.05
I either need to know how to shut down, or get back to the Gnome desktop.
Thanks.

Glenn
