This is very much dependant on whether your machine has the ability to
soft off/on and this is normally built into the power management.

I have this working on a libretto to power off when i type shutdown - h
now...
I set up the kernel with APM support and it works fine...
 
hope this helps.

I usually shutdown with the following command, which works (e.g., does
not
crash but correctly halts the CPU and system after shutdown):

    shutdown -h now

As you correctly note, this does *not* poweroff the system (for which
you
need to use the -p switch, as I recall).  Unfortunately, any attempt at
autopoweroff produces the system crash you noted in your earlier post.
