# The `shutdown` command
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The `shutdown` command lets you bring your system down in a secure way. When `shutdown` is executed the system will notify all logged-in users and disallow further logins.
|
||
|
|
You have the option to shut down your system immediately or after a specific time.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Only users with root (or sudo) privileges can use the `shutdown` command.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Examples:

sudo shutdown now

```
|

2. Shut down your system after 10 minutes:
|

sudo shutdown +10
|
