[SOLVED]Shutdown Command Not Found?

Don't worry. I'm not about to ask why updating my system didn't work and how I can fix it. This is about something that happened after I updated successfully. So, like I said, I ran through the commands just fine. Updating works. Then, I go to reboot running the command: sudo reboot. I get the response: sudo: reboot: command not found. Ok fine. So I run sudo shutdown -r now. Then I get this: sudo: shutdown: command not found. Same with shutdown -h now. I don't see why the update would do this but it's the only thing I can think of since it's the only thing I've done since shutdown stopped working.

EDIT: I've looked through /bin /sbin /usr/bin /usr/sbin but the shutdown command is not there. So that's obviously the problem. I'm still not sure what to do about it. I figure it has something to do with the recent update and that /bin /sbin and /usr/sbin are now all symlinked.

you probably uninstalled sysvinit for the upgrade right? You need to install systemd-sysvcompat.

My personal discovery of pkgfile was indeed a great moment.
