I need to figure out how to shut down the computer from an Adobe AIR application. I have been trying to figure out how to do this, and without success.
It's guaranteed to be impossible to do in a cross-platform manner. Any OS where the user isn't running with administrator privileges (like linux) won't allow it. I'd imagine Adobe would make it impossible for that reason alone.

A:
With Air 2.0 (currently available as beta) you can use the support for native code integration and call an external shutdown script.
