Hope that helps!poweroff
poweroff [options]
System administration command. Close out filesystems, shut down the system, and power off. Because this command immediately stops all processes, it should be run only in single-user mode. If the system is not in runlevel 0 or 6, poweroff calls shutdown -h, then performs a poweroff.
Infamy! Infamy! They've all got it in for me!
with shutdown you can specify what to do: halt, power off the computer, reboot...
poweroff is like an alias to shutdown -h now
reboot is like shutdown -r now will reboot de computer
but with shutdown you can specify the time, for example:
shutdown -h 60 will poweroff the computer in 60 minutes
Gives a good run down of the shutdown command.Code:man shutdown
