Does this accomplish what you want: "sync;sync;sync;halt" ? "man sync" You may need to pass arguements to halt. A standard man page may not be exactly correct in what you have, so you may have to peruse the codes. Think for a second. It's embedded, so why can the board (OS) be shutdown or halted as you like?
