Hello,

I think you have a misconception about the scope/capabilities of Wine.
Hint: It's not an operating system.

The principles/concepts of Linux (Unix) dictate why the capability to directly
shut down a Linux host should never be built into Wine by design.

The actual "shutdown/reboot" of desktop sessions is carried out by 'wineboot'
program, respectively '--end-session', '--restart' and '--shutdown' parameters
passed to it.

Of course there are many ways to achieve a "real" shutdown of Linux host.
For example executing 'dbus-send' with appropriate parameters (Wine allows
execution of native Linux apps).

Regards

I hope may be you can do it automatically? because Wine can be run in different
OS

No, this is a wontfix.

If this is your own app, and it only has to work on your local machine - you
are of course able to "implement" this feature yourself, for example by calling
native linux commands. Noone prevents you from doing that.

As Anastatius already tried to explain, Wine is like a "virtual machine"
environment which should leave the host system as unaffected as possible.
Shutting down or rebooting a virtual environment _should never_ do the same for
the host system. Please note that the function is already implemented, but it
only shuts down / reboots the virtual environment, which is exactly what it
should do.

ok. I understand.

PS
But agree with me, if software call ExitWindowsEx it's want to restart/shutdown
the computer but not the virtual machine.

Wine (originally an acronym for "Wine Is Not an Emulator") is a compatibility
layer capable of running Windows applications on several POSIX-compliant
operating systems, such as Linux, Mac OSX, & BSD. Instead of simulating
internal Windows logic like a virtual machine or emulator, Wine translates
Windows API calls into POSIX calls on-the-fly

Every time you cold start application with Wine you can think about it as a
computer powerup/boot from application point of view. So to "reboot" just
terminate an application and start it again.

If you want this for your own software then you have to implement it on your
own, Wine shouldn't be able to shutdown a machine.

Not sure if it's supposed to prove anything.
