# man shutdown

--snip--
-h      The system is halted at the specified time when shutdown execs
        halt(8).
-r      shutdown execs reboot(8) at the specified time.
--snip--

# man halt
# man reboot

--snip--
The halt and reboot utilities flush the file system cache to disk, run
the system shutdown script, send all running processes a SIGTERM (and
subsequently a SIGKILL), and, respectively, halt or restart the system.
--snip--

and of course there's:

# man rc.shutdown
