Public bug reported: i'm using from time to time the shutdown command to shut down my computer after 2 hours or something like that. but i always follow the syntax. checking the man page for "shutdown" on edgy, i found out that the documentation is incomplete! in dapper, the syntax of the TIME parameter was detailled (+min, hh:mm etc).
in edgy, "man shutdown" mentions the "TIME" parameter, but doesn't detail its syntax (not even the "now" trick). so it's impossible to find out how to use the command if you've never used it with only the documentation provided by ubuntu. ** Affects: sysvinit (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- edgy: man page missing information https://launchpad.net/bugs/68805 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
