Depends on which system is named 'localhost'.  I guess you could always unplug 
the network cable.

Unless 'localhost' is your own system.  In that case, I guess you would issue 
a shutdown command.

Now, if you're not talking about a system named 'localhost', but a NETWORK 
INTERFACE named "loopback" -- then you need a whole different set of 
instructions.

Ask the wrong question, you'll get the wrong answer.
