I know about shutdown, as it how I normaly shut things down. But you have to be root to use it. He was looking for how to enable normal users to shutdown or reboot. On the laptop, I have the power button mapped to "shutdown -h now".
I did forget one thing - you can hit Ctrl-Alt-Del and the system will do a reboot with the default setup. This is controlled by /etc/inittab. The section is: # Trap CTRL-ALT-DELETE ca::ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -t3 -r now This will do a proper shutdown, and restart the system.
