Funnily enough, that's what my box says- "Maintenance Mode", but it *DOES* shut down as well, using: shutdown -h now
Erm, what command were you using?
On most (all?) Linux systems, calling halt from a non-zero runlevel will invoke "shutdown -h now", but don't *ever* try that on another system. "telinit 0" is probably another synonym.
