(Get the code!)
Usage: shutdown [OPTION]... TIME [MESSAGE]
Bring the system down.
Usage: reboot [OPTION]...
Reboot the system.
Just out of curiousity. Why no 'time' for reboot? These commands are similar in purpose, so one would expect that level of consistency between them
I'll also be happy go back on my previous rant which may otherwise have come across as rude, if it can be explained why 'shutdown now' does not halt the system by default. It would seem to me that 'power-off' is a far more intuitive default action to be associated with 'shutdown TIME' than merely reverting to single-user mode? Why doesn't single-user mode require an argument the way halt would anyway?
