just want to know how i shutdown in bl2, i've tried the shutdown comman and i think it goes ino some kind of standby mode meanwhile whati want it to do is poweroff completely, normally i just type reboot and turn off the compuer when it's jus about rebooting.

I type 'shutdown -h now' and then wait for it finish unmounting drives and killing processes, then turn off the power.

shutdown --help gives a list of options

-h halt on shutdown (or -r reboots instead)

now no wait

or

-t 0 0 seconds wait

Otherwise it will probably issue some warning and wait for some default period (10 min?) to shut down so users can finish what they are doing
