From a terminal prompt I issue
shutdown now
Everything seems to be going well, I get:
Telling INIT to go to single user mode. INIT: Going to single user INIT: Sending processes the TERM signal INIT: Sending processes the KILL signal sh-3.1#
I still seem to be logged in, and at /
oh, I was logged in as root.

"shutdown now" without any other flags defaults to taking the system to single user state.
If you want to power off the system use "shutdown now -P" or "poweroff".

I use "shutdown -h now" for power off, and "shutdown -r now" for reboot.

Or my favorite, "halt".

My favorite: "init 0."

Just run "poweroff" to power off, and "reboot" to reboot. It's more intuitive. They're both symlinks to /sbin/halt
