I found the right way which is to have them in one line to execute
remotely.


ssh username@IP_ADDR shutdown -s


Hope this help others sometimes.

This says "run the ssh command. When the ssh command finally exits, run the
shutdown -s command (on the local machine). Not what you want.

man ssh
ssh Admin@IP_ADDR "shutdown -s"
should do what you want.
