CLI Machines Power Power Shutdown

`ed machines power shutdown`

Powers the machine off through systemd. Does nothing without --yes.

ed machines power shutdown <machine> [--yes] [--json]

The command is also spelled ed machines power poweroff.

Arguments

Name	Type / values	Default	What it does
`<machine>`	machine name, ssh alias or id	required	Which machine to shut down.

Options

Name	Type / values	Default	What it does
`--yes`	flag	off	Actually shut it down. Without this nothing is done.
`--json`	flag	off	Emit JSON on stdout instead of the human lines.
`--help`, `-h`	flag	off	Print the help for this command on stdout and exit 0.

$ ed machines power shutdown tuf
would shut Asus TUF 7 down
nothing was done; pass --yes to go ahead

$ ed machines power shutdown tuf --yes
Asus TUF 7 is shutting down

`--json` shape

The same two shapes as reboot, with action set to shutdown and the remote line built from poweroff:

{
  "action": "shutdown",
  "applied": false,
  "command": "sudo -n systemctl poweroff 2>&1 || systemctl poweroff 2>&1",
  "machine": "Asus TUF 7"
}

{
  "action": "shutdown",
  "applied": true,
  "machine": "Asus TUF 7"
}

Examples

ed machines power shutdown tuf
ed machines power shutdown tuf --yes
ed machines tuf power poweroff --yes
ed machines power shutdown tuf --json

Behaviour notes

Identical to reboot in every respect but the verb: same 20 second timeout, same sudo-then-plain fallback, same refusal detection, same exit codes.

Think about the way back before you run it. A machine that is off answers nothing, so the only verb left is ed machines power wake, and that needs a stored MAC address and a machine whose firmware has wake-on-LAN enabled. Check with ed machines power status <machine> first: if WAKE says no, a shutdown is a trip to the physical power button.
