poweroff
is the command I use. It's shorter :)
'init 6' is even shorter than 'poweroff'.
But I think that 'halt' is the shortest at all. ;)
[ctrl][alt][supr] is even shorter :-P

You can define that combination to be reboot or halt. No need to be
logged in.

On my machine with ACPI in use I just hit the power button once. Can't
get any shorter then that. :-)

And then you do that to someone else's machine, and
f*CK up their filesystems with massive corruption.

Do that on a commercial worksite, and you're liable
to find yourself looking for a new job.
