Shut down?

[Simon Mushi]

Grant,

A quick and easy command is "shutdown -h now" ... it will send a term
signal to all your processes and your computer will soon shutdown. for
more options just go to the man page for the shutdown command, i.e "man
shutdown"...the command to shutdown and then reboot is "reboot"

Enjoy,

Simon
