[QUOTE="Brown Study, post: 262042, member: 3889"] Start the AppleScript Script Editor in the Applications folder and type or paste this into a blank: tell application "finder" shut down end tell Save it to the desktop by going to the File menu to Save As. Give it a name — Shut Down — click on the drop down at File Format, choose Application and click on Save or hit return. If the script shuts the machine down when you double-click it, it will buy you some time until you find out why the real shut down command doesn't work. If restart doesn't work, either, write another script, but change shut down to restart. [/QUOTE]
