How to shutdown form command line

[shirshasin]

Sometimes the computer does not shut down from menu. novice user left standing ! Use the following commands from a terminal to shut down.

shutdown -h now (for shutdown and power off)
shutdown -r now (for shutdown and restart then)

*use sudo before if necessary.
