It's not that halt(8) and reboot(8) aren't safe, they're just rude if you're running a multi-user system. :) If you have multiple users, you can use the shutdown(8) command, which will let you specify a time till reboot. For example shutdown -r +5 will reboot in five minutes, and it will send out countdown messages to everyone.
