Question Workaround to do a shut down without updating, but wait until the next boot instead?

Usually, the "shut down" option is there above / below the "update and shut down" option, but sometimes it isn't.

What should you do if you're on a laptop and the battery is almost dead? Or, you're on a desktop and you have a UPS, but it only has a few minutes worth of backup power? You might also want to shut down in a hurry if you get a message that the CPU temperature is too high. (Windows doesn't have that itself, but I have monitoring software for that)

Of course, you could just hold down the power button to force a shut down, but I mean like a key combo or terminal command to do a software shutdown?
