Well assuming that you mean basic Unix commands, not a BASIC (Beginners
All purpose Symbolic Instruction Code) interpreter, what you want is a
book called "Unix for Dummies". No insult is intended, this is a very
good introductory book, I had it at my bedside when I was starting out.
I don't have it any more and I can't remember the ISBN, sorry. It's
yellow:) You should find it in any decent computer bookshop.

Please be careful with your capitalisation, it is meaningful. The "UNIX"
is fine, it means a commercially licensed version as opposed to an open
source version such as Linux (but did you mean this?). But "BASIC" is a
language. Capitalising that made your post mean something er..
meaningless.

To shut a machine down you use the command "shutdown". With various
options. Don't use it until you know what you're doing. Don't use root
until you know what you are doing, except on a scratch test machine.
