    Shutting down a computer through software->

    On a Pentium II and upward (if I am right) software
    can shutdown the computer without the user having
    to use the power switch. Does any one know the instructions to do this or where to find this information?

    Some more explanation:
    This code will reboot the computer:

    MOV al, 0xFe
    MOV dx, 0x64
    OUT dx, al

    What I would like is code that turns the computer off
    instead of rebooting it. I don't need to know how
    to call a Windows API or what ever to do it for me.
    It needs to be operating system independant
    like the rebooting example I posted.
