The usual and most common way to shutdown your PLD Linux is to issue: # shutdown -h now or you can just enter: # poweroff Using just: # halt is about the same. To reset your PLD machine you can hit **Ctrl+Alt+Del** or: # reboot During your work with PLD you can freely switch from one runlevel to another. To do that just issue: # init where **** is a runlevel number (1-5). To go into single-user mode you would enter: # init 1 [[:Docs:man| TOC]]
