Yes, assuming the hardware supports it (which most modern hardware 
does.)

Just use 'shutdown -p' instead of plain 'shutdown'.





  
Is this function available via kdm also I am using an apc ups and 
running apcupsd do you know of a setting here?


Thanks,

Thanks to everyone, I have changed the kdm login manager to have 
/sbin/halt -p upon shutdown and modified the apcupsd apccontrol script 
to have the -p now option.


All is working as I would like.

shutdown -p now

(-p = power down. Your BIOS must support ACPI IIRC).

Is it possible to have the server turn off?

man shutdown?

 -p  The system is halted and the power is turned off (hardware sup-
 port required) at the specified time.
