------- Comment #36 from [EMAIL PROTECTED]  2008-01-18 07:51 -------
I forgot to mention that /sbin/poweroff is a symlink to /sbin/halt.  So that
wouldn't explain why poweroff works and halt doesn't.

However, there is a /usr/bin/poweroff as well, which is symlinked to
/usr/bin/consolehelper.

When I tested, I logged in as root, therefore the sbin path statement was
before /usr/bin.  So it must have called /sbin/poweroff which is really
/sbin/halt.  So I don't know why poweroff worked and halt didn't.
