Hi,
I've tried to shutdown my Mac Mini (2009 version) under MacOSX from XBMC menu but only close the application, not the full system. Is it possible to shutdown the system by using only the Apple Remote?

As someone who uses his Mac Mini solely for XBMC on my LCD TV and Digital Amp (no keyboard or mouse attached), I personally wouldn't be rudely awoken if the shutdown option did indeed attempt to shutdown the machine rather than simply quit out of XBMC. A seprate option for "Quit" and "Shutdown" would make sense to me.
Without a keyboard or mouse, I currently use OS X's Energy Saver settings to automatically turn the Mini off cleanly every night.

Maybe I will just turn it on, then everyone can re-train themselves to do an exit instead of shutdown. )

I think the same like Fergus.
