What is the difference between poweroff and shutdown -P now commands?

Question

linux

Please tell me, technically, is there a difference between shutdowns using the poweroff and shutdown -P now commands?

Answer 1

[email protected]:/sbin$ ls -l poweroff
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 Sep  5 18:01 poweroff -> /bin/systemctl

[email protected]:/sbin$ ls -l shutdown 
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 Sep  5 18:01 shutdown -> /bin/systemctl

Almost no difference, both commands are just symlinks to the same file. But shutdown allows you to set the time, and poweroff (according to man'u) does not provide such a parameter.
