I use the savedefault/grub method as the Pundit-R systems need to reboot, then halt. *One important thing to remember* if you ever hardcode the default grub entry/poweroff entry in a script and then install/remove kernels, make sure you check that grub.conf still contains the items in the correct sequence, otherwise strange things may happen.
