1. shutdown -h now
2. because you need to be root before editing any system files. To become root you need to type 'su' meaning 'super user' and then type your root password

Because you try to execute this file, and it is not executable
try cat /etc/inittab to view the file or
vi /etc/inittab to change the contents

All this need root acess or sudo rights.
Ask the same to your adimn.
