How to gracefully shutdown Oracle Linux OS ?

TeaTreeJun 13 2015 — edited Jun 13 2015

Version: Oracle Linux 6.6

I was trying to shutdown Oracle Linux OS using shutdown -h command. But, I got the below error.

[root@pravda178 ~]# shutdown -h

shutdown: time expected

Try `shutdown --help' for more information.

[root@pravda178 ~]#

poweroff command works. But it is not a graceful shutdown apparently.

Why am I getting the above error ?
