Problem
Usually, I just do a sudo /sbin/shutdown now when in my VM and wait for it to logout into the bash shell. Then after that I just go to Power > Power Off. Is this the right way to shutdown my CentOS VM?

Fix for: How to properly shutdown my CentOS VM
Low Risk
Presuming VMware: if you have the vmware-tools installed in your VM, you should be able to issue the command and it will power-off the VM for you. This works for me with C4 and C5 VMs, on Server-1 and -2, Workstation 6.x, and ESX/ESXi.
