I generally use the reboot command. It works even as a normal user as long as
I am at the console prompt :-)
The actual command is in /usr/bin and it's a symbolic link to
/usr/bin/consolehelper
The man page for consolehelper:
consolehelper is a tool that makes it easy for console
users to run system programs, doing authentication via PAM
(which can be set up to trust all console users or to ask
for a password at the system administrator's discretion).
When possible, the authentication is done graphically;
otherwise, it is done within the text console from which
consolehelper was started.
If you run xdm, kdm or gdm you will need to do a 'telinit 3' at a console to
boot into non-graphical mode. Then you can shutdown using:
/usr/bin/reboot
