>Description:
When using the shell "shutdown now" command my dv7-1130US laptop halts all process and then displays:  

Shutdown writing entropy file. 
Terminated.

Enter Full path name of shell or Return for /bin/sh.

But the system does not powerdown.  I would expect the software to be "smart" enough to turn off the power switch as other operating systems do.  At a minimum the system should state after "Terminated", "It is now safe to turn off the computer." 
>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
The software should be smart enough to throw the power to the off position.  If I wanted a reboot, I will type in reboot not shutdown.
