# 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:
|
|
|
|
1. Shut down your system immediately:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sudo shutdown now
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. Shut down your system after 10 minutes:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sudo shutdown +10
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
3. Shut down your system with a message after 5 minutes:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sudo shutdown +5 "System will shutdown in 5 minutes"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Syntax:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
shutdown [OPTIONS] [TIME] [MESSAGE]
|
|
```
|
|
