No.  It should be "reboot" since that's the simplest thing.  "shutdown
now" doesn't cause the machine to reboot, but merely causes the
processor to halt.  It is the same thing as "halt," unless you have
users on the machine, in which case they will get a nice message
before the machine dies....

I'll take a look the rest of what you sent.
