It seems there is not such thing as a *general* shutdown command.
"Every" distribution has its own. Just picked three:
http://linuxmanpages.net/manpages/fedora18/man8/shutdown.8.html
http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/precise/man8/shutdown.8.html
http://manpages.debian.net/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=shutdown&apropos=0&sektion=8&manpath=Debian+6.0+squeeze&format=html&locale=en
Although they all agree on -r -h -H -P -k and -c. Also noticed that
the Fedora shutdown doesn't require the time option. It defaults to 1
minute.

This would still conflict with the -H of the ones above, but I have no
problem with it. Anyone against changing hibernate to -H?
