My bad then evo2.

Code:

sudo shutdown

Code:

sudo reboot

works in AntiX. Without a password even.

as root

Code:

shutdown -h now

has never failed me in anything but maybe puppy. Yep, Just checked in Slack0 5.7 puppy and no shutdown command found.

Code:

shutdown -r now

is pretty standard across distros for reboot except Puppy.

inxi for me has never hurt to install and run was why I thought it would be OK for what the OP wanted.

you can start by using "which". For example if you wanted to see if wmpoweroff exists you could do;

Code:

which wmpoweroff > /dev/null 2>&1
if [ "$?" = "0" ] ; then
  echo "This system has wmpoweroff"
else
  echo "This system does not have wmpoweroff"
fi

The key points here are that the "which" command will exit with status "0" if it finds the command and status "1" if not and that the value of the exit status of last command run is always stored in the variable called "$?".

HTH,

Evo2.
