rated 0 times [ 11] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 34429 / 2 Years ago, fri, january 14, 2022, 5:19:05

I would like to find a way to speed the shutting down process up by using shortcut keys.

I installed Ubuntu 14.10 - Utopic Unicorn on a Compaq HP, but I am not able to do that by following the methods used for the previous Ubuntu versions.

Is there a way to do that?

you can do

> sudo init 0

to shutdown your computer from the terminal or

sudo shutdown -r now

to reboot it. Besides you can do man shutdown which will give you more detailed information about the shutdown command.
