Hi there, I am new here so hope I do this right.

I have just installed debian squeeze, I installed the
base system and have install icewm and xorg and a few
other random programs.

My issue is I cannot seem to reboot. I have tried commands like restart,reboot,shutdown and they say command not found. So I can only presume I haven't installed a package that will let me do this. What package would this be.

dbradders@Home:~$ which reboot

dbradders@Home:~$ sudo which reboot

/sbin/reboot

dbradders@Home:~$ which halt

dbradders@Home:~$ sudo which halt

/sbin/halt

dbradders@Home:~$ which shutdown

dbradders@Home:~$ sudo which shutdown

/sbin/shutdown

A normal user w/o privileges can just open and end a user session, only the superuser can halt o reboot the computer.
