Cosmos C# shutdown

[cyberdan123]

Hello community,

I am pretty new to c# and i have decided to use COSMOS to build a basic operating system,
However, all my code compiles correctly but there is one problem, when i type shutdown, the system hangs, it does not shutdown and the white cursor continues flashing but i cannot type anything. ideally i would like it so that the system automatically powers down after the shutdown command is issued. My code so far:

using System;
using Cosmos.Compiler.Builder;

namespace CosmosBoot1
{
    class Program
    {
        #region Cosmos Builder logic
        // Most users wont touch this. This will call the Cosmos Build tool
        [STAThread]
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            BuildUI.Run();
        }
        #endregion

        // Main entry point of the kernel
        public static void Init()
        {
            var xBoot = new Cosmos.Sys.Boot();
            xBoot.Execute();
            Console.WriteLine("BAILEYTEK OS 2012 BETA");
            Console.Beep(1000, 1000);
            // Start of session
            Console.WriteLine("SESSION START");
        // read command
        command:
            Console.Write("-->");
            while (true)
            {
                string command = Console.ReadLine();
                switch (command)
                // Base commands 
                {
                    case "about":
                        {
                            Console.WriteLine("BAILEYTEK operating system 2012 beta developed by cyberdan123");
                            Console.WriteLine("Support email: [e-mail]");
                            goto command;
                        }
                    case "clear":
                        {
                            Console.Clear();
                            Console.WriteLine("BAILEYTEK OS 2012 BETA");
                            goto command;
                        }

                    case "shutdown":
                        {

                            Cosmos.Sys.Deboot.ShutDown();
                            break;
                        }
                    // help

                    case "help":
                        {
                            Console.Clear();
                            Console.WriteLine("BAILEYTEK OS 2012 BETA");
                            Console.WriteLine("User Guide");
                            Console.WriteLine("================================================================================");
                            Console.WriteLine("ABOUT    : Display information about system.");
                            Console.WriteLine("CLEAR    : Clear user interface.");
                            Console.WriteLine("HELP     : Display list of commands.");
                            Console.WriteLine("START    : Load main program");
                            Console.WriteLine("SHUTDOWN : End current session and power off machine");
                            Console.WriteLine("");
                            Console.WriteLine("================================================================================");
                            goto command;

                        }


                    //main program

                    case "start":
                        {
                            Console.WriteLine("Main program will exist here but i haven't planned it yet.");
                            goto command;
                        }



                    //if command is incorrect
                    default:
                        {
                            Console.WriteLine("Command Invalid");
                            goto command;
                        }

                        ;
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Could anyone please suggest a way to fix this error,
Thanks in advance

At line 52 you are breaking out of the switch case clause.
This does not break your while loop.

Try restructuring your code as follows:

First get rid of all those goto command statements and let the while loop to do its job.
Use a break at the end of each of the case statements instead.
Move line 28 inside the while loop and get rid of the command: label.

To manage the shutdown use a boolean in the while statement e.g.

bool shutdown = false;
while (!shutdown)
{...}

Now set the boolean to true in the shutdown case.
