What is the best way to issue a clean shutdown of the OS from within the iPhone controller app? Thanks!

That’s how I do it now from ssh. Im asking if it can be automated from within the controller app on my phone.

If you’re happy to modify the existing code then probably the easiest way is to hijack any one of the commands in the app control example that you don’t currently require, e.g “lie” and swap for

```python
import os

```

```python
os.system("sudo shutdown now")

```
