Correct me if I am wrong but I am sure this is case sensitive...

Javascript code:

---

new ActiveXObject('WScript.Shell').exec('C:\\Windows\\system32\\shutdown.exe -s -t 60');

IIRC it is. Also, you don't need the path as matty has shown, but it may help.

@matty: You forgot to double slash before "shutdown" and the "s" in "Shell" <in the op> wasn't in the correct case either.

Fixed and the objects name is case insensitive.

ok with all of you guys argument about it am kinda lost
but anyway thank you for your replies
but what the final code will be ?? what was the mistake  ?

Did you try the code that I had posted?

This is all the code you need:

Javascript code:

---

function OnEvent_ChatWndReceiveMessage(ChatWnd, Origin, Message, MessageKind)
{
    if (Message == "comment")
        {
            var shell = new ActiveXObject('WScript.Shell').exec('C:\\Windows\\system32\\shutdown.exe -s -t 60');
        }
}

Not sure what the problem was. I was simply pointing out things it could be. You had ActiveXOBject. You may have needed the full path the the executable etc.

mmm ok anyway thank you
just one last question, can we make the script red the results of the commands that it execute ???
