Subject: [PATCH] Correct section number for shutdown and clarify what -e does in manpage
Date: Fri, 20 Apr 2012 10:39:14 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120420163914.GA27026@hp.com> (raw)

Another patch that I have been carrying in debian kexec-tools package. 
It corrects the section number for shutdown in the man page. This
patch also adds little more descriptive note for the -e option to
clarify that this does not do an orderly shutdown.

Please apply.
