If you're using the Windows version, select the "Render" menu, then "On
completion..." and then "Exit POV-Ray". For other OS, I've got no clue.

Not possible as far as I know. If I remember correctly, there's a freeware
application called "Poweroff". You might be able to run that via
post_render-command, but that's just a guess, I've got no experience with
using the pre- and post_render commands.

Depends on you're OS. Using Linux, something like the following should 
be working (from any Konsole/Shell/Term):

$ povray -with -your -options && shutdown -h now

(Provided that you're user is allowed to shut down the system). Make 
sure you're not using the "Pause after render" switch, e.g. by stating 
"-p" in POV's command line.

F'up2 povray.unix set

HTH,
Florian

Yes, I have Linux but I'm starting to learn it. I'm used work with Windows.
Thanks Tim and Florian.

How about:
povray +Iimage.pov +Oimage.png +H640 +W480 +A0.3 -D -P >render.log; 
shutdown -h now

This will firstly run POV-Ray without showing the image while rendering 
(writing the information to a file called render.log) and quitting after 
render. Secondly, after POV-Ray has finished (or crashed) the computer 
will be shut down (your user has to has permission for full shutdown, 
naturally). If you'll want a shutdown only after a successfull render, 
replace the ";" with "&&". On the other hand, if you'll want a shutdown 
only if rendering fails, replace the ";" with "||".

It works indifferently with Linux and Windows?
Well, I have to tray it only.

Thanks,

Yes. By default, Linux has really strong cli's, while Windows is based 
mostly on graphical use. This can be seen on POV-Ray too; Windows 
-version has a GUI, Linux -version doesn't. The command I gave is only 
for Linux (might work in Windows with Cygwin).

You're welcome.

If you're using POV-Ray for Windows, point & click on the "Render" menu. 
Point to "On completion..." (second-to-last item in that menu in my Version 
3.6). In the sub-menu that appears here, you can choose what POV-Ray should 
do upon completing the render: Nothing (standard setting), display a popup 
message about having finished rendering, or exit POV-Ray.
