SLiM - how do I shutdown? [RESOLVED]

I'm using SLiM and my /etc/slim.conf includes the lines:
halt_cmd /sbin/shutdown -h now
reboot_cmd /sbin/shutdown -r now
My question is: how do I invoke these? Once I've logged in and Gnome appears, I only get the option of 'Log Off' in the Gnome menus. Furthermore, SLiM doesn't show any buttons or key presses to shutdown or reboot. At the moment, I'm having to switch to a new tty, login as root and then invoke shutdown at the command line. It's a PITA and I can't understand why /etc/slim.conf specifies the options but doesn't tell you how to invoke them (eg. after a logout).

Username: 'halt' or 'reboot'
Password: root password
(Or something like that)
Not sure about in invoking in GNOME, probably a missing daemon.

HT201318 I upgraded my iCloud storage capacity for a higher tier and the device does not actually reflects said upgrade. How can this be resolved since my credit card was charged

I upgraded my Icloud storage capacity to a higher tier and my Iphone does not reflect the change although my credit card was charged and the device is nor properly backup. How can this be resolved?

It seems to take up to a couple of days for the upgrade to take hold, at least that's the experience of some users. Give it 24 hours before contacting apple.

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

Iphone6 doesn't play music (have tried obvious things like volume etc and plugged in headphones, connected to a speaker via bluetooth, and tried to play from the inbuilt speaker). Does anyone know what the problem is and how it can be resolved?

You can't buy the part from Creative as a spare.
I'm not sure how compatible other parts might be, but that would be a question for someone who really knows a lot about this area of electronics.
The Creative repair for this is likely to be expensi've, but the problem is most likely a broken solder connection than an actual new headphone socket. So if you know someone experienced in surface mount soldering you could probably get it repaired just with this.

If you are using someone else's WiFi they may have restrictions in place.

Have you tried connecting using at least more than one particular WiFi network ?

That's down to the web site. If "Contact Us" links to a page with details, fine, but as you say, some sites make the link a mailto: link, which automatically opens your default Mail app.
I don't think there's a setting to change this, but TinkerTool (free) allows you to change some "under the hood" settings, and might help

I see nothing there that is referring you to the Terms of Sale. You're being told to contact iTunes Support. These are user-to-user support forums, if you thought you were contacting Apple by posting here. Go here:

How do I shutdown from within Genome??

How do I shutdown from within Genome??
There is only a logout option - and that do not work.
If I open a terminal and enter init 5 nothing happens.
Or so it seems some services maybe stop.
BUT there is no logoff and shutdown of Genome. So I swicth
off my pc and next time I boot up my file system was corrupted.
FSCK did not work I end up install everything this time use bypass
option and install the patches for PC-Solaris 8.
How do I go to a command line environment within Genome
a .dtconfig stop ?? Will this let Genome come down without
booting up and loosing my system again??
