The mac can be restarted, shut down or sent to sleep. To achive that there are several ways.
If you own a MacBook or MacBook Pro you just can close the lid to make it sleep. But on a iMac or MacPro you would like to make it sleep, too.
All methods can be chosen by using the Menu bar clicking on the apple.
Restart options menu
The other geeky way is to use the keyboard. Hold down control and eject. Then you will get a dialog where you can easily select one option from.
 CTRL+Eject |
 Restart Dialog |
You can either use a direct shortcut to activate each function without a dialog:
Control-Command-Eject: Restart with asking for closing documents.
Control-Option-Command-Eject: Shut down with asking for closing documents.
Command-Option-Eject: Sleep
