There are major bad side-effects to allowing telnet at all, but then
again, your 15-year-old probably told you that as well.

You can probably run:

# shutdown -h now

I say probably because "shutdown" may not be in your path.  If it isn't
find it using:

# find / -name shutdown

and then do:

# /path/to/shutdown -h now

Which will shut down your Qube.
