In Mac OSX (which is a Unix system), and Linux, there is a command named
"shutdown" or "shutdown now" most likely in "/sbin" to shutdown the system. I'm
pretty sure that you must be logged as "root" (super user) to execute it. I
don't know how you can grant your extension to have root privilege to execute
the shutdown. You can always create a script that call the shutdown command,
and give root privilege to whoever runs the script, but that a big hole in the
security of the system.

.createInstance(Components.interfaces.nsIProcess);
process.init(DLL or ExE Path);
process.run (false, args, args.length);
