[SOLVED]halt command does not shutdown my pc

[paskali]

Hi all, i have a simple question:
when i try to shutdown my pc (i have an old but very nice notebook brand nec versa), i run:
^{sudo halt}
from my not root usually account; however this command stop all things but does not shutdown the pc and wait from me to make manually turn off.
When i shutdown pc from X, it does make shuting process without issues and turn off pc by it self.

Why this difference?

Thanks!

Try poweroff command.

Try poweroff command.

It does work! Thanks! In other distros i have used always "sudo halt" or "sudo shutdown", never "sudo poweroff", i did not know that did exist :-)

We are mostly busybox. poweroff is included with busybox.
Type busybox to see all the command that are included.
