Computer shut down from within Octave?

[babelproofreader]

Is this possible? For example, if I want to run some script overnight while
sleeping and I'm not sure exactly how long it will take, is there some
command from within Octave that can be sent to the computer system to shut
down the computer after the script has finished running? My motivation is
simply that if the script stops at say 2 am I don't want the computer to be
on unnecessarily for perhaps another 4 or 5 hours.
