Console commands for Linux

[Praetorian]

Is there anywhere online where I can find a list of console commands for Linux? I've figured out a few with common sense but not all. Also how do I shutdown Linux from within the Console only? Is it just like old DOS machines where you just kill the power?

There are heaps of resources on the web - just search for Linux or Unix commands.

Don't just turn off at the shell prompt - it is not like DOS. Simplest way is to type "halt".

Well I think this should be just about all you need http://www.martian-tech.com/commands.html
Also "shutdown -r now" with out quotes Restarts Computer.
"shutdown -h now" without quotes will shutdown. But it will not work unless I'm root for some reason.
P.S Maybe try "/sbin/shutdown -r now" or "/sbin/shutdown -h now"
Oh yeah there are many options that you might need to know. Those on that page are jsut basic things, try typing a command "command ?" or "command --help"
