Sounds good. I guess Corinna will fix this in the CVS for a next version.

Yes, that bugs my for quite some time too, is -h for halt or
hibernate? Now the -s is the same as the Windows shutdown.exe. The
changes are really straight forward. -b could be the new short option
for hibernate, doesn't interfere with the main linux shutdown options
or the windows shutdown. Leaving -s as it is for backward/windows
compatibility reasons and adding -h, --halt for shutdown and -P,
--poweroff. But then, having three options that actually don't do
anything, just for the sake of compatibility? EWX_POWEROFF is the
default action already. That's why I left those shutdown options as
they are. But I gladly write the patch if nobody has objections
against changing -h.

I'm also considering adding possibility to customize the shutdown
message: shutdown -rf 22:00 "Rebooting because of Windows Updates".
Who knows...

And does anybody ever use that reason thing on the windows shutdown?

Regards,
Frank
