There IS /usr/local/modules/script/shutdown.sh
See the following posts from the thread in my prior post that indicates it DOES appear to work to some extent.
I tried to execute that shutdown.sh file and fortunately it works! So if anybody wants to shutdown a v2.x WD My Cloud you could use that command. I’ll try that WD Access program although I actually need a possibilty to shut it down from a mobile device!

#!/usr/bin/expect
spawn ssh root@mycloud "halt -p"
expect "password:"
send "PASSWORD\n“;
interact
Just edit this script with the correct password and server name (IP address).
Make it executable with chmod…
There is also discussion of unhiding the code in the CSS file that hides the shutdown option from the v2.x single bay My Cloud Dashboard in that Safe Shutdown thread.
