a buddhist might say that this is a question wrongly asked. if you want to shut off a system immediately, you can use "poweroff -f", but you might find that it isn't "safe", in that it doesn't send halt signals to the running processes, so you might get errors in the file system. that happened to me a little while back. and i beleive just running "poweroff" turns the system off safely, but possibly not very quickly.
