System Shutdown

There are a couple of options available for preparing the SOS computers for a power down. As in any modern operating system, it is generally a bad idea to just remove the power, to bring down a system. The system typically has un-saved information queued up in memory that needs to be written to disk before powering down. Fortunately, it is very easy to gracefully shutdown computers these days and here are a few.

Click "Actions" from upper panel, and select "Log out". A pop-up Linux menu window will appear with options "Logout", "Shut down", and "Restart the computer". Select the desired option.
User sos can shutdown computer inside any Xterm or virtual terminal (use Ctrl+Alt+F1~F7 to bring it up) with shutdown or reboot command. ex "sudo shutdown -h now" to shutdown or "sudo reboot" to reboot.
Simply hit the power button to turn it off (push once to shutdown gracefully, push and hold for 5 seconds to force a sudden power off).
To shutdown all machines use the command sudo pdo shutdown -h now"
