No, you need to do a
shutdown -r now
and then wait until the machine starts to reboot before powering it off.
Or you can press Ctrl-Alt-Delete to accomplish the same thing (in Debian;
not all Linux/UNIX variants do this).
This shuts down the machine properly. It's similar to shutting down
Windows95 instead of just killing the power switch.
There are other "shutdown" options as well; but this will satisfy your
needs for today.
