I am a new user learning about Unix.
I found the shutdown command and have been using "shutdown now" to shut down
before powering off.
When the pc boots up it complains that it was incorrectly shut down.
Am I following an incorrect procedure?
'shutdown now' will take you to single user mode. This is not what you want if you're ready to power off. Use 'shutdown -h now' and wait for the 'press any key to reboot' prompt before you power off. To reboot, use 'shutdown -r now'.
