how do you exactly run the shutdown command?
as user or as root?
what output do you see?

shutdown is only available as root. But somehow does not work as expected. Never got it running as used to ....

So just try
Code:
poweroff
or
Code:
init 0

Code:
shutdown now
shutdown -r +1
shutdown -h 19:17
...
all variants let the timer go by (or on time), but does nothing. Do not know why!

But above mentioned commands work. For timing just put some 'sleep x; poweroff' in advance.
