Jidanni's concern is in the shutdown(8) manpage.

1. `shutdown` is no longer a script. The manpage should reflect that.

2. INIT_HALT is handled in /etc/init.d/halt, not /sbin/halt.

3. use `shutdown -h -H` with caution.  I don't have a clue.

4. It is not interesting to mention "Debian Sarge" in manpage anymore.


It would be great if they could be addressed upstream.

Yours,
Benda
