How would I shut down and restart the computer using Objective-C code?

Don't use the /sbin/shutdown command as previously recommended. That command will not give users the chance to save their work before the reboot/shutdown. Instead, send events to the "System Events" application. You can do this easily using NSAppleScript, by running a script like "tell application \"System Events\" to restart". If you know what you're doing, you could probably make that even faster by using AESend() directly...
