+  <title>Rebooting and Shutting Down</title>
+  <para>
+    The system can be shut down (and automatically powered off) by
+    doing:
+  </para>
+  <programlisting>
+# shutdown
+</programlisting>
+  <para>
+    This is equivalent to running <literal>systemctl poweroff</literal>.
+  </para>
+  <para>
+    To reboot the system, run
+  </para>
+  <programlisting>
+# reboot
+</programlisting>
+  <para>
+    which is equivalent to <literal>systemctl reboot</literal>.
+    Alternatively, you can quickly reboot the system using
+    <literal>kexec</literal>, which bypasses the BIOS by directly
+    loading the new kernel into memory:
+  </para>
+  <programlisting>
+# systemctl kexec
+</programlisting>
+  <para>
+    The machine can be suspended to RAM (if supported) using
+    <literal>systemctl suspend</literal>, and suspended to disk using
+    <literal>systemctl hibernate</literal>.
+  </para>
+  <para>
+    These commands can be run by any user who is logged in locally, i.e.
+    on a virtual console or in X11; otherwise, the user is asked for
+    authentication.
+  </para>
