Shutdown with one key

[DrJones]

Hello,

I'm sometimes using my laptop as an WLAN Access-Point and in the evening I have to log on as root and type "init 0" in order to shutdown.

Is it possible to shutdown the laptop by pressing only a single key or a combination like
"ctrl+alt+del" for a reboot?

Thanks

Hitting the power button on any modern machine should cause FreeBSD to shut down gracefully and power off.

Works perfect.

Thank you

Why, oh why, oh why are you using init 0 to shutdown? That completely bypasses all the normal shutdown processes and can lead to some significant file corruption down the road.

There's a reason for the shutdown(1) command.
