Busybox: how to quit Busybox and/or shut down computer

18.04busybox

I am on a terminal looking ("pre-boot") screen, in a utility/program called Busybox.
By pre-boot, I mean that I am not booted into the GUI of an operating system. My computer loaded this utility/program instead of booting into the operating system.

How do I exit Busybox and shut down the computer?

Here is a web page that shows the commands:

I couldn't find any quit or exit command.

Best Answer

It’s poweroff or poweroff -f.

Also, ash does have an exit command, but the resource you mentioned is for the busybox binary, not the shell.
