I am not sure I understand the request completely, you want to shutdown your computer and you want to save the date and timestamp of the shutdown to a notepad or some other text editor? If that is the case, you really don't need Python to do that, you can create a batch file, if you're on Windows, that can perform those two tasks. If you're on Linux or Mac a BASh script would work too.

If you really wanna use python then I think system function from OS library would be helpful: import os command = # something to execute in CMD os.system(command) And you can use time/datetime library for time

Ok, I would l use the OS library https://docs.python.org/3/library/os.html it will allow you to shutdown the machine. I would also use the Logging library https://docs.python.org/3/howto/logging.html because it has more control, it is better than just writing to a file. However, if you want to write directly to a file, then print('YOUR MESSAGE HERE', file='YOUR LOCATION HERE') should work just fine
