Give root password for maintenance message
« on: July 16, 2014, 09:31:13 PM »
Just a little tip for you folks on the debian release of wattos..


I know some of you like playing in terminal and stuffs.. but please do not use the command "shutdown now" to turn off the pc... it does not work on debian and will drop it to maintenance mode (press control -d to continue) ...


you need to issue the correct command of "shutdown -h now" instead.. the -h denotes "halt"


just incase you folks have been getting this message  ;)
