Subject: halt -time
It doesn't seem to be working.

I type:
    shutdown -h -time <time desired>
and it beeps and  says:
    Broadcast message fromn root (pts/2) <present date and time>
    The system is going Down for system halt in 1 minute ! !
then one minute later it beeps again and says:
    The system is going down for system halt NOW ! !
    usage: init [-n] [-w] [-d] [-f] [-i] [-p]
and then it just sits there!
(I also tried it without the -h flag)
What am I doing wrong?
