For anybody else having the problem I was of a huge error crashing their system
whenever the shutdown script tried to halt, it is because of the power off command,
like Axalon said, but the specific problem comes from the -p parameter that tries to
power down your pc. This command is near the end in SShalt script.. Just look in
your /etc/rc.d/rc0.d directory, and edit one of the last lines which contain "halt -i
-d -p" so that it doesn't contain the p, and is just "halt -i -d" and any other
parameters you used with it. Hope this helps somebody else out there. See ya.
