You'll first want to make sure that our watchdog agent, Lassie, has been disabled for your server.
Once it's disabled, you can launch your server's console screens, login to your server, and shutdown your server using the "shutdown now" command.

shutdown now
To restart your server, you can enter the "boot" command from your server's console screen.
