Brand new to Linux. I need to turn my box off and put it in my server room. The help here and everywhere seems not to work for me:
http://debianhelp.co.uk/shutdown.htm
I get:
lukepuplett@uktnlx01:~$ poweroff
-bash: poweroff: command not found
lukepuplett@uktnlx01:~$ shutdown
-bash: shutdown: command not found
lukepuplett@uktnlx01:~$ modprobe apm
-bash: modprobe: command not found
lukepuplett@uktnlx01:~$
I also tried halt, reboot, goaway, and pleasejustwork.
