I'm referring to the gnome panel.
Regardless of the definition found in the man page, when a user selects "shut down" from the gnome panel my guess is that the computer should power down, i.e. shutdown -h now
Thoughts?
I agree. It's weird, but my Fedora box's shutdown stuff for Gnome is commented out:
(partial display of /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf follows)
# Reboot, Halt and suspend commands, you can add different commands
# separated by a semicolon and gdm will use the first one it can find
#RebootCommand=/usr/bin/reboot;/sbin/reboot;/sbin/shutdown -r now;/usr/sbin/shutdown -r now
#HaltCommand=/usr/bin/poweroff;/sbin/poweroff;/sbin/shutdown -h now;/usr/sbin/shutdown -h now
As the comment says, RebootCommand and HaltCommand will use the first command in the list it can find. I suppose they could be uncommented and X restarted to see what happens. If uncommented, those are what RH9 uses.
As I said...weird!

Hi all,

What should I check?
Thanks, Salvio
According to the shutdown man page, the default action is to go into
single user mode (runlevel 1). Use the -r flag to reboot or the -h flag
to halt the system.
