<PRE>'Twas brillig, and Pascal Terjan at 09/08/12 20:04 did gyre and gimble:
&gt;<i> Yes because it totally makes sense to have a command to halt the
</I>&gt;<i> operating system but leave the machine using some power for nothing
</I>&gt;<i> (and preventing you from powering it on with wol). I am sure someone
</I>&gt;<i> believes it can be useful in some strange scenario.
</I>
It's very useful and it was essential for me during the previous release
to debug shutdown logic.

I want to see and read the debug that happens here and with a regular
poweroff the debug disappears before you can read it. It's maybe not
something you want to use regularly, but it doesn't mean it's not
useful. There were always &quot;poweroff&quot; and &quot;halt&quot; commands - the names
speak for themselves, it's just people got used to broken behaviour in
the past. If you want to power your machine down, just type &quot;poweroff&quot;.
If you want to halt it, then type &quot;halt&quot;. Kinda self explanatory really.
Use the right tool for the right job :)
