I don't think so. Did you try 'shutdown' _outside_ a Finder tell block? it
still compiles as a keyword. SD's manifest doesn't find an osax for it in OS
X. So it's an AppleScript keyword, not a Finder keyword. When I run it, it
doesn't do anything. When I run

class of shutdown

the result is

constant

So it's not a command. Maybe it's used with that term that's replaced
'computer' command, to denote a state of being.
