As you can see, Apple borrows a lot from FreeBSD.=C2=A0 The co-joined opera=
ting system is called DarwinOS which is the foundation for the Apple Mac OS=
X operating system.
Not having dealt with a Mac for years, I'm guessing about your issue.=C2=A0=
If your command returns a prompt after it runs and spits out that message,=
the shutdown command may have been altered.
At the prompt, try a simple 'halt' command.=C2=A0 That should shut the mach=
ine down.

I have found a FreeBSD OS embedded in my Mac which is fully implemented.
I followed the instructions and did the following from your website
documentation:
in terminal;=C2=A0 shutdown -k +1 "message"
I get the following:
System shutdown time has arrived
but you'll have to do it yourself
I am not sure what to do at this prompt....what does 'do it yourself
mean', and what do I type to complete the process??
Also in addition to the above question....
does the fact that those commands do actually work mean that I am correct
in
believing that there is a FreeBSD OS embedded in my system?
Thank You,
Free BSD

Not really. macOS uses a lot of the FreeBSD 'userland' -- ie, the user
commands -- but the kernel is significantly different.
There is quite a close relationship between macOS and FreeBSD, though
I'm vague on the details (if anyone has any links, I'd be very
interested in them). However close it is, one cannot realistically say
'macOS is FreeBSD'!

The -k option means:
-k Kick everybody off. The -k option does not actually halt
the sys-
tem, but leaves the system multi-user with logins disabled
(for all
but super-user).
See 'man shutdown'
As it happens, I think that 'shutdown -h now' does work on macOS, but it
may not be formally supported. That is, there may well be other aspects
of a fully controlled shutdown which this will miss.
Good wishes,
Norman
