Allow the
ELILO.EFI
loader to proceed with booting the SuSE Linux kernel.
By default, the
ELILO.EFI
loader boots the kernel image and options specified by the
default item in the
elilo.conf
file.
To interact with the
ELILO.EFI
loader, interrupt the boot process, for example, enter a
space at the
ELILO boot
prompt. To exit the loader, use the
exit
command.
Shutting Down Linux

Use the
PC

mm
is the minute (two digits).
•
Number of minutes to wait in the format
+
m
, in which
m
is the number of minutes.

command.
To shutdown Linux, follow these steps:
1.
Log in to Linux running on the system you want to shut down.
2.
Issue the
