It's probably the most used command for operating system shutdown.
 
Linux: shutdown (flags such as -h)
OpenVMS: shutdown FreeDOS: shutdown Solaris 9: shutdown (flags such as
-y -g 30)
Windows 10: shutdown (flags such as /p)
Minix3: shutdown (can't remember the flags right now)
TOPS20: ^Ecease now (then confirm)
ITS: :lock  (then 5down, confirm)

I usually use the -f flag with -r or -h:

# shutdown -hf now now now

Which produced the following on logged-in terminals:

The system will power off now!
