is there a way to shutdown OSX (without any prompts), from within PD? i tried a naive "sudo shutdown -h now" sent to a shell object but did not get any reaction. (other simple commands like ls worked though)

you need to provide the full path of the command "shutdown" (i think it's either /sbin/shutdown or /usr/sbin/shutdown) when you send it to the [shell] object.

plus (IIRC) you would have to permit superuser privileges in order to use it as a normal user (=without root password). i don't know the exact procedure anymore but you will find the information on the net.

also consider using the newer [command] external instead of [shell]
