Shutdown EMC2 after GCode completion?

Shutdown EMC2 after GCode completion? was created by ItsDrone
I am looking for a possible method for EMC to be 'set' to auto close after completion of a ngc file.
The reason for this is so I can have that computer completely shutdown (and auto shutdown the CNC controllers) after a long strenuous cut process.
I have been looking through the source (EMC2 v2.5.0~pre) to see if I could find a method to trigger this via an entry in the hal*.ini file. That way it will not always shutdown after a cut unless I chose the custom setup. (clone the ini file and have it load one or the other depending on if I'm going to be running an all night cut or a short cut)
Is this something that anyone else has thought about or already implemented?

Just call a shell script that shuts everything down..

Shoot!
I didn't even know there was custom commands that would allow sh to be run!
This wasn't what I was thinking of but it sure will do the job!!
And even do the other half of my issue!
Thanks!
