I can't shutdown

using Raspberry Pi wheezey...
I think this says it all. What am I doing wrong?

Code:

~ $ uname -a Linux kevcoder01 3.1.9+ #272 PREEMPT Tue Aug 7 22:51:44 BST 2012 armv6l GNU/Linux ~ $ sudo shutdown -Ph -t now Usage: shutdown [-akrhPHfFnc] [-t sec] time [warning message] -a: use /etc/shutdown.allow -k: don't really shutdown, only warn. -r: reboot after shutdown. -h: halt after shutdown. -P: halt action is to turn off power. -H: halt action is to just halt. -f: do a 'fast' reboot (skip fsck). -F: Force fsck on reboot. -n: do not go through "init" but go down real fast. -c: cancel a running shutdown. -t secs: delay between warning and kill signal. ** the "time" argument is mandatory! (try "now") **

Either give time in seconds [ -t 10 ] or use "now" without -t option.

Code:

sudo shutdown -Ph now sudo shutdown -ph -t 10

The Raspberry Pi doesn't shut down...
It has a power cord, but no switch/button.

According to the RaspBerry website, turning off the computer comprises of unplugging it.

*EDIT*
For other Linux machines, it could be:

Code:

shutdown -h now

...using sudo if needed.

I would have thought you should still halt it with the above command, just to ensure that all caches are properly flushed before pulling the plug

Yeah.. very true. I was half asleep when I posted above, so I guess that slipped mind.:mrgreen:
