what is the exact command to shut down a redhat linux system

I want to know the exact command to shut down a Red Hat linux server.

I was using init 0, but some one said it's not the proper method to shut down my linux server.

If not, what command should I use?

Or, if you want to exit from your system and turn off your machine, type:

$ shutdown -h now

.. via manuals.
