7 <para>
8 The system can be shut down (and automatically powered off) by doing:
9<screen>
10# shutdown
11</screen>
12 This is equivalent to running <command>systemctl poweroff</command>.
13 </para>
14 <para>
15 To reboot the system, run
16<screen>
17# reboot
18</screen>
19 which is equivalent to <command>systemctl reboot</command>. Alternatively,
20 you can quickly reboot the system using <literal>kexec</literal>, which
21 bypasses the BIOS by directly loading the new kernel into memory:
22<screen>
23# systemctl kexec
24</screen>
25 </para>
26 <para>
27 The machine can be suspended to RAM (if supported) using <command>systemctl
28 suspend</command>, and suspended to disk using <command>systemctl
29 hibernate</command>.
30 </para>
31 <para>
32 These commands can be run by any user who is logged in locally, i.e. on a
33 virtual console or in X11; otherwise, the user is asked for authentication.
