[aclug-L] Shutting down linux from X

["Koji Hayakawa" <sylf@xxxxxxxxx>]

Is it advisable to shutdown X and Linux from xterm/shell prompt?  For now,
I've set up a box to boot directly into gdm, then onto WindowMaker.
WindowMaker doesn't have computer shutdown or reboot menu by default.  In
order to rely on menu, I need to log out and use gdm's shutdown or reboot
menu.  Being this PC is running on 133MHz, gdm isn't the fastest component
to be loaded just for shutdown.  Is it okay to issue /sbin/init 0(6) from
xterm?  Is there any other way?  Whatever the case is, I just want to add
another WM menu that does the PC shutdown.




By the way, since when did cox start charging extra for multi-computer
connection to their service?!?
