Question

how do i shut down my OS with java

Answer 1

You can execute shutdown DOS command on XP and higher

Answer 2

You cannot directly shut OS with Java, but you can execute a shell script or native program e.g Runtime.getRuntime().exec("shutdown"). Or you can write JNI hook into native system

Answer 3

I believe that since Java is OS independent there is no direct way to do it, other than invoking something from the underlying OS.
