Restart or shutdown ubuntu

Its easy to shutdown down Ubuntu from the commandline (given the correct permissions). Shutdown with shutdown which gives you 60 seconds to reverse that decision to shutdown by cancelling with shutdown -c. You can also reboot which takes effect right away.

shutdown # shutdown
shutdown -c # cancel that shutdown.
reboot # reboot the computer now
