shutdown man page missing TIME format

[Emmanuel Touzery]

i'm using from time to time the shutdown command to shut down my computer after 2 hours or something like that. but i always follow the syntax. checking the man page for "shutdown" on edgy, i found out that the documentation is incomplete! in dapper, the syntax of the TIME parameter was detailled (+min, hh:mm etc).

in edgy, "man shutdown" mentions the "TIME" parameter, but doesn't detail its syntax (not even the "now" trick). so it's impossible to find out how to use the command if you've never used it with only the documentation provided by ubuntu.

mistyped: "but i always follow the syntax."

I meant "but i always forget the syntax."

Confirmed - it's missing from the upstart man page, but documented in "--help" output (in 0.3)

I'm afraid it is not documented in --help either.
I tried the latest feisty version. Is there any other version ?

[Scott James Remnant (Canonical) (canonical-scott)]

There's a newer upstream version that's not in feisty yet -- I've been hoping to get it in "today" for the past week or two :)
