Hi John,

This is your problem.
You need to pass three parameters to sys.execute.
The original script on xplproject.org.uk that called shutdown looked like
this:

call sys.execute("poweroff.exe","/h 127.0.0.1",False)

The first parameter is the name of the EXE file to run, the second is any
parameters, and the third must be true or false.
If true, the script will wait for the application to close before
continuing -
if false, the script will continue straight away without waiting for the
application.

So, try changing your sys.execute call to something like:

call sys.execute("notepad.exe","",True)

HTH,

John
