Sister communities:


Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

  • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    The command shutdown defaults to 60s, but doesn't throw the popup. shutdown +60 will give you 60min instead (and +30 is 30min, etc), shutdown -c to cancel, and shutdown --show will show if one is scheduled shutdown -h I believe is the "do it now" option but I always just give it the minute.

    shutdown -h now

    -h stands for halt

    now can be set to any amount of time you want.

    Ah thanks! Like I said I always just give it the 60s (or +X), so I was less familiar with the now bit.
