The directory where shutdown is located is NOT in your path. Therefore
the shell (Bash, in your case) could not find it. Its probably the same
for fdisk.

BTW, don't USE fdisk unless you know exactly what you want to do BEFORE
you start. You could wind up reinstalling your OS otherwise.


Now to use shutdown you can su root, enter the password for root. Now 

	cd /sbin/shutdown -h now <ENTER>

For more information try

	man shutdown

	Try command_name <ENTER>

Assuming (1) the directory containing command in your path and
	 (2) you have the correct permissions to execute the file.

To see your path try

	echo $PATH

> extension such as .bat, .exe, .com is executable

Good Luck
