+[[!meta title="shutdown does not work, how am I supposed to shut my Hurd system down?"]]
+
+The GNU/Hurd does not use SYSV runlevels, so commands like
+
+ # shutdown -h now
+
+will not work. Simply use the equivalent shortcuts
+
+ # halt
+ # reboot
+
+to respectively shutdown and reboot Hurd, provided natively,
+instead of from SYSV runlevels.
