Bug Description
Hi,
I just installed 12.04 and running "sudo halt" only halts the system instead of powering it off.
This worked fine on 10.04 - running "halt" by itself powered off the machine and it looks like it is still configured to poweroff the box in /etc/default/halt in Precise but that doesn't happen.
Is this the intended behavior? If so, is it documented somewhere?
I saw a comment here:
https:/
That said that halt no longer powers off the system, but I have been unable to find any documention explaining the change.
Thanks,
Charles
