Have you tried to shutdown from a CL console.

$ pinfo shutdown:

SHUTDOWN(8) Linux System Administrator’s Manual

NAME shutdown - bring the system down

SYNOPSIS /sbin/shutdown [-t sec] [-arkhncfFHP] time [warning-message]

DESCRIPTION shutdown brings the system down in a secure way. All logged-in users are notified that the system is going down, and login(1) is blocked. It is possible to shut the system down immediately or after a specified delay. All processes are first notified that the system is going down by the signal SIGTERM. This gives programs like vi(1) the time to save the file being edited, mail and news processing programs a chance to exit cleanly, etc. shutdown does its job by signalling the init process, asking it to change the runlevel.

Kind Regards,

Keith
