script-shutdown when process ended

Hey, I was wondering if any of you knew how to write a script for XP,
that would probably run in system start-up, that will do a typical
shutdown -s automatically when a person ends a particular task. I have
seen quite a few commercial programs that do this for you but i would
like to make a simple script. Thanx...

Bool = true

for each Process in GetObject("winmgmts:").InstancesOf("Win32_Process")
if "notepad.exe" = Process.Name then
Running = true
end if
next
if not Running then
Bool = false
set shell=createobject("wscript.shell")

ok i made it using the script you wrote. I don't understand it all but
I'm assuming that notepad.exe was the target that is checked...but when
i ran it, the computer never shutdown and notepad wasn't
running....should i of added more to it or replaced parts you left for
me...does it have to be in the system start-up to work?....what is
"wscript.sleep 120000" for...so the computer doesn't shutdown before it
boots up?
