first i think you need to activate UI-Scripting.
http://www.apple.com/applescript/uiscripting/01.html

you'll have in your “System events” applescript library a “power  
suite” folder with
log out
restart
shut down
sleep

then also you need to make a .app out of the script i've sent in the  
last mail by saving it in the Scripteditor

[shell]
