Hi guys,

Is it possible to force the iPhone to shutdown (programmatically, of course)?

Thanks in advance!

Not on an unjailbroken phone, no.

Programatically, you can program a set of lego mindstorm to push the top button and the home button at the same time till it shutsdown ;-)

As has already been answered: No.

In general, the answer to these questions is pretty easy. Ask yourself: "Could this feature be used to interfere with the operation of the iPhone as a phone?"

If the answer is yes, then no, you can't do it.

mmc
Thanks for that. I suspected that might be the case, but was worth checking with the experts (ie you guys).
