man shutdown says
Calling “poweroff” is equivalent to running:
shutdown -p now
and they're the same executable hard linked.
reboot is the same executable as halt. They don't warn logged on users
in the same way as shutdown does. man reboot says
Normally, the shutdown(8) utility is used when the system needs to be
halted or restarted, giving users advance warning of their
impending doom
and cleanly terminating specific programs.
