Shutdown has an option that I didn't know about. Not that I use it at all for my server machine, but still it's a handy thing to know about.
$ shutdown -p now
The '-p' option will make your computer power down after the shutdown, so you don't have to hold in the power switch. Mind you, there seems to be some controversy on the -questions list as to whether it works in 4.x or 5.x. I'll have to try it later today when I shut down my server to install a new hard drive.
