8 The command you want is "chvt". E.g...
9
10 chvt 1
11
12 ...will change you over to text console 1, just like the {CTRL-ALT-F1}
13 key combo. You may want to try "chvt 12" (equivalant to {CTRL-ALT-F12}
14 if you want to see logging while the shutdown is in progress. I don't
15 know what desktop or window manager you use, but if it has a shutdown
16 script you can include "chvt 12" (without the quotes) in it. Another
17 option is to put it in /etc/conf.d/local.stop but be careful when doing
18 etc-update that it doesn't get overwritten by the default empty file.
