[quote]"shutdown -P halt" in both runlevels 3 and 4 is just pushing me to init 1 (single user mode).

After reviewing the source for the shutdown program I found that it is written to change the system to runlevel1 and not halt the system. If you wish to actually shutdown the system you can use "shutdown -h now" or poweroff.

but matt, why they changed the command's way of working too?. It is supposed to be common with all distro, right ?[/quote]
Actually they did not change the command, the source I reviewed is the official source of sysvinit. It may be that the other distros changed It themselves to fix the command.

The code for sysvinit and shutdown are quite simple you can always modify the code yourself to make it behave as you want and build a custom package.[/quote]

ok. thankyou matt

mmmm...ok
