Hi, the shutdown command can both halt and reboot the system if you type at the terminal prompt man shutdown you can read the unix manual page on the command. I think there are more friendly GUI man page readers on the mac. Nick Gawronski

What about shutting totally down?  Is that:
sudo shutdown ?

    Hi, Yes this has been going on for me as well.  I usually just go
    into terminal and run sudo reboot or sudo halt to either reboot or
    halt the system.  You are prompted for your password then the
    system will do what you tell it to.  I know this is probably not
    the best option but at least the system does a clean reboot or
    shutdown and you don't lose data.  Nick Gawronski

    Ever since Avid introduced the Avid Audio manager which goes up
    in the menu extras area, I've not been able to reboot nor
    shutdown my mac correctly.  Every time I try, it goes like it's
    going! to do it, but then it just sits there like a total dum
    dumb and does nothing.  I usually wind up having to hold in the
    power button, which is completely unacceptable.  Yeah, I've
    definitely uninstalled it, but it keeps coming right back.  And
    yes.  I uninstall it with the official utility provided directly
    by Avid when installing ProTools.  It's not like I'm just
    manually deleting it's .app file.  I even have gone under login
    options in system prefs, and tried manually removing it from my
    list of login items, but it's not in the list to start with.
    Honestly, this is becoming extremely extremely irritating!  Yes,
    I did a disk permission repair, and that didn't help.  I've now
    seen this on about 3 of my machines, so yeah.  I can uninstall
    it, but as soon as I then relaunch ProTools, it comes right back,
    even after being totally uninstalled.  What the hell!
    Chris.
