Odd that you need the -h, as the documentation for shutdown --help,
suggests that '-h' is assumed when you use the '-P' command.

I also thought that the 'shutdown' command might make any error
messages involved a bit more visible, but obviously that isn't the
case.

If anyone else can suggest a better fix / way of debugging the
shutdown process?
