You CAN use shutdown - just re-direct input from /dev/console:
   e.g.  # shutdown -i6 -g0 -y </dev/console

-i6 says rebiit
-g0 says shutdown immediately (no grace period)
-y  says don't ask me 'ary you sure?'  - This is important since input is no
    longer coming form the terminal that you're on.
