hmmm, this isn't as simple as I had hoped it would be. I haven't gotten the shut down part yet, been searching for a script with no luck yet. However, it starts to update the ipod and tries to eject it before the update is even done, and completely nullifies the entire workflow. So now I have to put some kind of wait in between actions to make sure they get done, this doesn't make sense. I don't even know if that is possible. What's the point of giving it a list of things to do if it's not going to do them in order.
