This is Debian sucking COC.

Good skill with that.

Use su - instead; this launches a login shell, which forces PATH to be changed, but also changes everything else including the working directory.

Use sudo instead. sudo still runs commands with an altered PATH variable.

SHUTDOWN(8) shutdown SHUTDOWN(8)

NAME
shutdown - Halt, power-off or reboot the machine

SYNOPSIS
shutdown [OPTIONS...] [TIME] [WALL...]

DESCRIPTION
shutdown may be used to halt, power-off or reboot the machine.

The first argument may be a time string (which is usually "now").
Optionally, this may be followed by a wall message to be sent to all
logged-in users before going down.

The time string may either be in the format "hh:mm" for hour/minutes
specifying the time to execute the shutdown at, specified in 24h clock
format. Alternatively it may be in the syntax "+m" referring to the
specified number of minutes m from now. "now" is an alias for "+0",
i.e. for triggering an immediate shutdown. If no time argument is
specified, "+1" is implied.

Note that to specify a wall message you must specify a time argument,
