Is there a way to completely shutdown the N900 so that absolutely nothing is running? For example, assuming I'm connecting the right dots here, a shutdown doesn't stop alarmd from setting off my alarms at inconvenient times.

Other than using the power button and selecting "Switch off!" and holding down the power button, I've tried `shutdown -h now`, which appears to do nothing, and `poweroff` and `halt`, neither of which stop an alarm that is set to go off. Is there anything short of pulling the battery that will work?

Specifically stopping alarmd isn't the issue--a special shutdown script would take care of that, I believe. I'm wondering if there's a "normal" way to make sure everything is dead :)
