The commands are not dangerous or irrelevant Lee. Your shutdown problems 
should improve with Canicule (9.2). I have run across a few machines running 
Bamboo (9.1) that will go through a shutdown cycle, but stop just short of 
actually powering off. I can't quite figure what's causing it since even the 
chipsets are different. I've never seen any harm from pushing the power 
button at that point anyway. 

One of the machines I was able to "cook" today is a dual processor Athlon MP 
2600+ that has that same glitch in 9.1. Now that it's running a current 
cooker install it does what it's supposed to do.

I posted a link to an online O'Reilly book that has a large alphabetical 
listing of commands. Most books I swear at; O'Reilly books I swear by.

As for anything irreverent; that's an accurate description of yours truly. (-:
