keyboard shortcut to shutdown system

Post by sohodirecty »

I had a problem with my video card (ati agp mount popped loose. a known problem). I had t shut down the system by holding in the button. Is there a way to shutdown the system with the key board.

If not, is there a way to check my system after re-start via the terminal. It seems to be OK but I don't want to get into trouble if it happens again.

Thanks
