Shutdown

Is there anyway I could create a file that, when executed does "su" and enters the root password and then shuts down the computer?

 

Getting even more complicated (especially for newbie me lol) could I get it to prompt me if I wanted to enter a delay time?

 

Slightly separate question but same topic, whats the difference between doing "shutdown -h..." and skipping the -h. I know it means halt but what does that actually do? Doesn't seem to make any difference to me?

 

Thanks
