You're not installing the 'halt' program, and I don't think shutdown
cute the mustard. The halt program is in the sysinit package (!) and
poweroff should be a link to it. then halt -p or poweroff perform the
same function, i.e. call halt with the -p option. When called as
poweroff, it defaults to halt -p.
What the hell are you playing at with this stuff?
halt -p
"Usage: shutdown -h" WRONG!
poweroff
"Why?" [and it sits there]
Because I said so you stoopid thing!!
