How to save the result in the Notebook (.nb) and shut down the computer when the calculation is done

Question

I have a notebook(.nb) which its calculation is time-consuming and long. I can not observe it if the calculation is done or not. Therefore, I want to :

Save the results in the notebook(.nb) ( I do not want to save the data in a .Xls,.CSV,... file) and then
Use a command in that notebook(.n) to shut down the computer from Mathematica when the calculation and saving the data is done.

I wonder if you could possibly help me with this problem.

P.S: I have already searched the documentation and found NotebookSave[] command, but I'm not sure if it is a proper command to save the notebook. However, I couldn't find anything relate to shuting down the computer after calculation.

I think a similar question has been asked before, but I neither remember it clearly nor the solution if any was given. — Mr.Wizard, Aug 06 '14 at 17:50
I suspect best way to shut down will be to use a command line script. What OS are you running? — Mr.Wizard, Aug 06 '14 at 17:53
@Mr.Wizard: The OS is " Windows 8 ". So you mean there is no way ?! — Shellp, Aug 06 '14 at 17:57
I didn't say there was no way, and I don't think the question should be deleted. I mean that you will probably need to use something like: Run["shutdown /s"] to shut down. — Mr.Wizard, Aug 06 '14 at 18:01
@Mr.Wizard: I used Run[Logoff] and it somehow worked. However, Run[Shutdown] didn't. — Shellp, Aug 06 '14 at 18:15
@Jagra That's probably what it was, and clearly this is not a duplicate. Thanks. — Mr.Wizard, Aug 06 '14 at 18:37

On Windows this works for me:

Pause[1];
1 + 1       (*you can add Save or Export here ofc*)
NotebookSave @ EvaluationNotebook[];
Run["shutdown -t 2 -s"];

NotebookClose[]

For command explanation take a look at the link Öskå has provided:
