That is Bad Design.  What each one does should be explicitly clear,
and not duplicated.

Note however that I *CAN* see circumstances where you *DON'T* want an
explicit "shutdown" to be available as a user-choice.  In cases like
that, I could see the "Shutdown" selection announcing something like
"This system is shut down automatically every night, but should be
left up and running until then." and performing a "mere" logout
instead of a "genuine" shut-down.
