I've been using this stuff to shut down my system pretty quickly:

It usually works, but still sometimes hangs forever. At least
the newer versions of systemd will respond to holding down
Ctrl-Alt-Delete for several seconds to stop waiting on whatever
stupid thing it has decided to wait on (I can't ever tell what
that is, because with the proprietary nvidia driver I have
to use to get any video at all, the first thing shutdown
does is black out the screen, and I never see any messages).
