How to shutdown Pogo plug properly?

[thebaltant]

IS there a way to shuto down pogo plug properly like how we shutodown windows,so far i just pull the plug once the downloads are completed and iam afraid that it might hurt the plug so is there a way to shutdown and reboot my pogo plug?

[scorp]

commandline:

/sbin/shutdown -r -t 0(reboot in 0 seconds)
/sbin/poweroff . .. power ... off

[WarheadsSE]

Add this to the list
/sbin/shutdown -h -t 0 now
/sbin/halt

`shutdown -r` will reboot.

Is -t 0 required ?

[bob8889]

When using shutdown, -t is required. 0 is the number of seconds.

'shutdown -t 0' = shutdown immediately

[hydro]

[-t sec] is NOT required and sec is NOT the number of seconds to wait before rebooting. It is the number of seconds shutdown waits before processes that did not terminate via the TERM signal are finally killed via the KILL signal. Type man shutdown to understand how the time to wait before rebooting is specified.

I could be wrong but I've tried to shutdown using just the command "shutdown" and an error is displayed:

** the "time" argument is mandatory! (try "now") **

The -t parameters on the help for shutdown is displayed as follows:
-t secs: delay between warning and kill signal.

To me that means immediately but I could be wrong.

I usually use "shutdown -t now" or "poweroff"

[tomcheng76]

i always use shutdown -h now / poweroff
for reboot, use shutdown -r now

My point of asking was since we should allow nice killing of process rather than force killing

The time argument can have different formats. First, it can be an absolute time in the format hh:mm,
in which hh is the hour (1 or 2 digits) and mm is the minute of the hour (in two digits). Second, it
can be in the format +m, in which m is the number of minutes to wait. The word now is an alias for
+0.
