16 You don't need those. It sounds like you somehow got both sysvinit and systemd
17 installed. The message you're getting is from sysvinit. poweroff should be a
18 symlink to systemctl. Try:
19
20 systemctl poweroff
21
22 You may need to unmerge sysvinit and anything else related to openrc and then
23 re-emerge systemd. With systemd it should either shutdown or ask you for the
24 root password (if you're not logged in locally or there's other users logged
25 in).
