oddly enough it's "shutdown" :P
It requires root though.
and reboot is either "shutdown -r" or "reboot"

"shutdown -h now" as root
I prefer using "shutdown -r now" to reboot but IMHO, this is the best way to reboot:
(That command uses the Nokia daemons to handle the reboot and anything written using libosso knows the tablet is about to restart and can do something about it. For example, the built in Notes app saved my unsaved note in a recovery file)

It should be "shutdown -h" or "shutdown -r"
also, make sure the "run as root" box is checked

shutdowm -h or shutdown -r doesnt work for me... there should be the word "now". and when i check run as root it doesnt work. so i uncheck it and works awsome.
so for newbies like me,
the command for personal menu for shutdown is
ROOTSH SHUTDOWN-H NOW
and for reboot it
ROOTSH SHUTDOWN-R NOW

Hmmm funny, I've never had to include the "now"
it always worked with or without it... well, I'm glad to see you got it working

The only reference I could find to this is in the SDK headers (/usr/include/mce/dbus-names.h specifically). Is there any other documentation?
IMHO there's no reason why shutdown couldn't also send an appropriate dbus signal (shutdown_ind perhaps?) via one of the init scripts' stop stanza (/etc/init.d/mce may be a good choice). Care to open a bug?

Call me lazy, but I just use "init 6" (as root) to reboot. It is less typing.
