You might want to look into ssh. If you are happy on the command line it will give you all of that, but with X forwarding you can do amazing things.

What is the command you are using for shutdown?
I take it you have root access since you can reboot.

What is the command you are using for shutdown?

After logging to my remote pc using ssh i use the following command to shutdown.
# shutdown -h
After this (_) is blinking nothing else

Are you doing it from the console or remotely?
