Ed,
How interesting! I was unaware of this.
For now, rather than remembering to type 'sudo /sbin/halt', she can type
'haltnow' because I put that function in her ~/.bashrc as Paul suggested.
I'll soon learn if that worked. I'll hold (no pun intended) the power button
shutdown in reserve.
As always with linux, there's a plethora of working solutions.
Many thanks,
Rich
