Im on a smartphone with alpine linux & KDE desktop, running ssh in, and for some reason no one thought to put a shutdown aplet in a logical place, and even the shutdown utility is not present.
$ whereis shutdown
shutdown:
nothing, ooh but I do have halt, but no man pages. well anyway, is the shutdown command provided in a package,available in source code that i can compile, or just an alias to the halt command?
You can use poweroff
Alpine Linux init system has been described in its docs
Equivalent to shutdown -h now from traditional GNU/Linux systems:
poweroff
Equivalent to shutdown -r now from traditional GNU/Linux systems:
halt
