>Description:
The manpage of shutdown mentions that shutdown -p invokes halt after completion. According to what I see in the code, it actually invokes poweroff rather than halt, which means shutdown -p halts the machine via ACPI if available and otherwise acts like shutdown -h, while shutdown -h - which calls halt - doesn't attempt to power off the machine.
