to power off my system...i use init 0
but it never shuts down the system completely.....at the end it gives a message "power down".....then i have to press the power button....is there any command which shuts down the system completely..........!

You have to use either ACPI or APM. You might even have the necessary modules installed.
Go to /etc/rc.d/ and open rc.modules. Then try uncommenting
Worked great for me.

edit: oh yeah, actually that makes it load the APM module on startup, if you want to try it right away just type

ss taht is it, for any 2.6 kernels you dont need this
IMPORTANT
this will work ONLY on the next reboot :)
