Hmm, well, I've never proofread the installation-guide as a whole. I ought to get round to doing that some time. Okay, your patch introduces another example of un-American behaviour, but I would actually suggest rephrasing that bit: it's not obvious what newly introduced behavio(u)r it's talking about. Also, it's not strictly true that it was introduced by systemd in Jessie. Distinguishing halt from poweroff was already a feature of systemd on Wheezy - and Upstart too, unless I'm misreading "https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/upstart/+bug/532366";. So: [...] Use <command>reboot</command> to reboot the system. Use <command>halt</command> to halt the system without powering it off <footnote> <para> Under the SysV init system <command>halt</command> had the same effect as <command>poweroff</command>, but with systemd as init system (the default in jessie) their effects are different. </para> </footnote>. To power off the machine, use <command>poweroff</command> or <command>shutdown -h now</command>. (and drop the final sentence about systemctl). I use "SysV init" and "systemd" above because we don't mean <package>sysvinit</package> or (especially) <package>systemd</package>, we mean those software frameworks as a whole, referred to by "brand name". And it's "jessie" because we don't mean whatever &releasename; currently resolves to, we mean Debian 8 (and using lowercase because apparently &releasename; follows that standard). -- JBR with qualifications in linguistics, experience as a Debian sysadmin, and probably no clue about this particular package -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
