You must create the script first. Open gedit and type 2 lines:

#!/bin/sh
sbin/shutdown now

save this file any name.Example: bye.sh

give to this files execution permisions. You can do it in and graphic environment using rigth click and selecting properties or in shell using the command:

chmod a+x bye.sh

For invoking this scripts in your program, the programing language you are using must to have a runtime interface that allow to run the script. Consult your documentation for details.
