I forgot to mention that the script does whatever you want it to do. This could as easily be the actual shutdown command. It doesn't have to be a wrapper for anything. Our script is a menu of options. I'd recommend (from experience) including a prompt that asks is this really what you want to do before it shuts anything down.
