Miark, After checking the man page if you do not specify a -r or -h it will go to single user mode, hence not shutting down the system. -r reboot -h halt.

When I type do a "reboot" from the command line, it shuts down services, and finishes with the line "Restarting system." And then it doesn't do anything further. When I was in rescue mode earlier, it worked like a charm. It's in regular mode that doesn't work. How can I fix that?
