btw if your x86 box is in runlevel 0 then it is switched off but on some architectures it means the machine is actually in a system maintenance mode but I have only ever seen this once myself on some very strange hardware and may now be a nice legacy from the olden days of Unix or on very odd computers.

Funnily enough, that's what my box says- "Maintenance Mode", but it *DOES* shut down as well, using:
shutdown -h now
So, thanks NuTTer, you were totally correct. I'll be off to find an alias for this command (or create one that I'll remember).

How about typing poweroff? That works with mandrake 7.2 upwards, might work with your machine. All it does is call shutdown -h now
