<title>Rebooting and Shutting Down</title>
<para>
The system can be shut down (and automatically powered off) by doing:
<screen>
# shutdown
</screen>
This is equivalent to running <command>systemctl poweroff</command>.
</para>
<para>
To reboot the system, run
<screen>
# reboot
</screen>
which is equivalent to <command>systemctl reboot</command>. Alternatively,
you can quickly reboot the system using <literal>kexec</literal>, which
bypasses the BIOS by directly loading the new kernel into memory:
<screen>
# systemctl kexec
</screen>
</para>
<para>
The machine can be suspended to RAM (if supported) using <command>systemctl
suspend</command>, and suspended to disk using <command>systemctl
hibernate</command>.
</para>
<para>
These commands can be run by any user who is logged in locally, i.e. on a
virtual console or in X11; otherwise, the user is asked for authentication.
