Does anyone know why this code does not work?

Code:

btn:connect("clicked", function ()
                              win:hide()
                              win:destroy()
                              os.execute("/sbin/poweroff")
                           end)

If I substitute "/bin/poweroff" with "/sbin/fconfig" it prints ifconfig output on the terminal, so I'm pretty sure callback is correctly called.

I've also checked with "shutdown -t 0 now".
No way to switch off the Iliad from inside a lua+lgob program.

Thanks,
Iñigo
