you need to provide the full path of the command "shutdown" (i think 
it's either /sbin/shutdown or /usr/sbin/shutdown) when you send it to 
the [shell] object.

plus (IIRC) you would have to permit superuser privileges in order to 
use it as a normal user (=without root password). i don't know the exact 
procedure anymore but you will find the information on the net.

also consider using the newer [command] external instead of [shell]
