a/ is it wrong if I use "reboot" in konsole?

b/ if wrong, why, as it is possible

c/ what would be the equivalent command to turn out the pc?

[Snowhog]

Rebooting or powering off the PC from a konsole is perfectly okay. The 'proper' commands to do both are:

To reboot your PC:
sudo shutdown -r now

To power off your PC:
sudo shutdown now

[Feathers McGraw]

Both reboot and shutdown are just symlinks to systemctl nowadays on a distro with systemd:

sam@T440s:~$ which reboot
/sbin/reboot
sam@T440s:~$ ls -al /sbin/reboot
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 Jul 12 17:28 /sbin/reboot -> /bin/systemctl

sam@T440s:~$ which shutdown
/sbin/shutdown
sam@T440s:~$ ls -al /sbin/shutdown
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 Jul 12 17:28 /sbin/shutdown -> /bin/systemctl

Had to look it up, apparently the name of the binary that was called is used as an argument to systemctl:
