init level 5 powers off, level 6 just shuts down.  The shutdown man
page indicates:

      state 5
            Shut the machine down so that it is safe to remove the
            power. Have the machine remove power, if possible. The
            rc0 procedure is called to perform this task.

      state 6
            Stop the operating system  and  reboot  to  the  state
            defined  by the initdefault entry in /etc/inittab. The
            rc6 procedure is called to perform this task.

So use "shutdown -i5 -g0 -y".
