Since I wanted to shutdown instead of reboot, it would be ALT + SysRq +
S + U + O then correct? I have never done this before so what if any
are the gotcha's with this? Anybody ever do it and can tell me how long
a shutdown takes? Is it like seconds or what? Also, will this work if
I am logged into KDE and in the GUI?

Thanks.
