win = RUBY_PLATFORM =~ /(ms|cyg)win|mingw/
flags = ’ -h now’
flags = ’ -t 0’ if win
system “#{‘sudo’ unless win} shutdown #{flags}”

Vamsi K.,
Any command/combination you use in your shell, you can use from ruby too

system “the command”
or
return_value = the_command

There are more ways, but system is the easiest one.
