The commands are pretty self-explainatory but their options are what really is the power of these commands. Of course, shutdown is the best and poweroff, halt and reboot simply call the shutdown command with the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=arvindsraj.wordpress.com&blog=7293406&post=355&subd=arvindsraj&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

To print out the contents of a file try,

Creating files
To create a file, the command is touch.

1.I use bash(bourne-again shell) to demonstrate the functionality of these commands. So, if you use a different shell, check the documentation of that respective shell.
