How about typing poweroff? That works with mandrake 7.2 upwards, might work with your machine. All it does is call shutdown -h now

btw if your x86 box is in runlevel 0 then it is switched off but on some architectures it means the machine is actually in a system maintenance mode but I have only ever seen this once myself on some very strange hardware and may now be a nice legacy from the olden days of Unix or on very odd computers.

Funnily enough, that's what my box says- "Maintenance Mode", but it *DOES* shut down as well, using:
shutdown -h now
So, thanks NuTTer, you were totally correct. I'll be off to find an alias for this command (or create one that I'll remember).
