Running shutdown with no options brings the system to runlevel 1.

$ shutdown --help
...
The system is brought down into maintenance (single-user) mode by 
default, you
can change this with either the -r or -h option which specify a reboot or
system halt respectively.  The -h option can be further modified with -H 
or -P
to specify whether to halt the system, or to power it off afterwards.  The
default is left up to the shutdown scripts.
