you can define an alias. this is what I use (in zsh):
alias halt='shutdown -h now'
alias reboot='shutdown -r now'
if you use more than one shell and want to avoid creating the same
aliases for each of them, put a shell script wrapper somewhere in
your path (and make sure the directory is before /sbin in $PATH).
