Keyboard Shortcut to Shutdown Ubuntu



Hi Guys ,In this Tutorial I am going to Teach you How to shutdown your Ubuntu PC or laptop using keyboard shortcut. Well, this tutorial isn't really about a keyboard shortcut to shutdown Ubuntu but This will help you to shutdown your Ubuntu Machine without even moving your mouse. Windows Has its own Shortcut key to display the options for shutdown that is ALT+F4 but Ubuntu does not have an option to shutdown from a keyboard shortcut. So read below to know how its done in Ubuntu.

This Trick will only work in Ubuntu distributions with UNITY interface( All Ubuntu Editions starting from Ubuntu 11.04 and above)


So the shortcut to shutdown your Ubuntu Machine is to Go to your Desktop that is minimize all windows and press ALT button , then it will display a Box which tell you to enter a command


Then type “sh” and you will get an option saying Device > Shutdown


Now, Press the ENTER Key twice and your Ubuntu Machine Starts Turning off.



Well this is not a Huge one but I hope you liked it.....:)
