Thank you for your help, Jason. Our program will try to do the following things:
If restart is selected, our program will programatically restart the computer. If shutdown is selected, we will let the system shutdown in its own way. Therefore, we need to find a way to tell whether the computer is shutting down or restarting. Also, we need to deal with doing a shutdown or restart from the Apple Menu and from the command line. I noticed many people have asked similar questions before but none of the replies answered our questions.
