You need to use the "-h" flag to halt. From the man pages:
shutdown does
its job by signalling the init process, asking it to
change the runlevel. Runlevel 0 is used to halt the sys�
tem, runlevel 6 is used to reboot the system, and runlevel
1 is used to put to system into a state where administra�
tive tasks can be performed; this is the default if nei�
ther the -h or -r flag is given to shutdown.
Type "man shutdown" to get useful info like this about "shutdown";
it also works for most other commands. Cool, eh?
