Make properly power off Raspberry [CONSOLE]	2013-07-13	make-properly-power-off-raspberry-console	post	Hacking

The problem is simple, but there is no explicit "method" when we are in front of a console, over SSH for example.

You have to use the basic functions of Linux, the same way to power off a PC under any of distributions :

# halt

... or :

# shutdown -s now

Wait until only one red LED still light on, and unplug the Raspberry's electrical supply.

On ArchLinux with Systemd, you can run:

# systemctl halt
