Summary: Shutdown silently swallows NPE, does nothing

Initial Comment:
The help form for shutdown indicates that -u and -p are
not required:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] bin]$ ./shutdown.sh -?
Usage: Shutdown [host [port]] [-u username] [-p
password] [-c shutdown_command]

However, a quick glance at things tells you this isn't
true.  A NullPointerException will be thrown around
line 120 when password.toCharArray() is called on a
null password.

This nasty error is swallowed silently thanks to the
catch'ing of generic Exception in the shutdown method.

The work-around is to always specify a user and password.

The fix is to not catch a generic Exception silently. 
The comment in the code indicates there is some
regularly occurring Excpetion (I'd guess IOException)
thrown as the server shuts down.  So catch that
exception specifically, maybe in inside a narrow
try/catch block, instead of just sucking any exception
into silent oblivion.
