I don't want to start a fuss, but your comment about 4.x not working is
misleading to the list. It's okay to say that it didn't work for you, but
it was not because 4.x doesn't support the shutdown IF properly configured
and IF the computer supports it too.

I know you said "My experience...." but might imply 4.x won't work.

Begging your pardons.....
