poweroff shutdown menu command
Posted: Mon Feb 04, 2013 3:04 pm
Please add a poweroff/shutdown command to the main menu or submenu.
It is somewhat inconvenient and very obscure now, to have to research FreeDOS to learn to use the poweroff command to simply shut a computer off!
Why does anyone need to turn their computer off this way? Maybe the power switch is unreliable/malfunctioning. Maybe software is a more gentle way of shutting down than hardware. The average user in this situation would have to start up Partition Magic or Windows from the hard drive just to be able to shut down!
If it doesn't seem worth adding poweroff as a main menu choice, the RESTART entry could be changed to restart/poweroff/shutdown submenu?
Thank you.
