NB: You should CLEARLY understand difference between:

  reboot or shutdown -r
reboots system (system initiates bootstrap)

  halt or shutdown -h
HALTS system (system halts [any key - reboot])

  halt -p or shutdown -h -p
POWERS DOWN system (system attepts to power down hardware)
                          
  shutdown (no switches)
places system onto SINGLE USER MODE (system stays available
only from physical console for maintenance)
