Command Question

Are there commands to shutdown or restart the computer? The reason I ask is so that I can toy with my server just a little bit more while at work, using SSH.

"shudown -r" or "reboot"

"shutdown -h" "poweroff" or "halt -p"

just to clarify, you also need a time option.
for example,

shutdown -h +2 (wait 2 minutes)
or
shutdwon -h now

see the shutdown manpage for more fun stuff.
