shutdown moves you to single user, great for maintenance items like 
messing with your libararies.
shutdown -r does a reset
shutdown -h does the halt
All of them need a time parameter, like "now".

Take a look at packages directory, try it with the pkg_info and pkg_add 
commands, you'll love it (do it as root!).  These are pre-compiled 
binaries, and the pkg_xxx commands do all the installation dirty work for 
you.  Don't forget, after you've added the neat packages you'll find, to 
do a rehash command so your shell session can find them.....
