This should work: system('shutdown -s');

You can also try the following function as posted in Matlab Central.

function shutdown(varargin)
if nargin
   if isnumeric(varargin{1})
       if varargin{1} == -1
           evalc('!shutdown -a');
           return
       end
       t = ceil(varargin{1});
    else
       t = 60;
    end
else
   t = 60;
end
eval(['!shutdown -s -f -t ' num2str(t)])

USAGE:

shutdown = turn off the computer in 60 seconds
shutdown(numsec) = turn off the computer in numsec seconds
shutdown(-1) = abort the shutdown; don't turn off the computer
numsec = optional number of seconds to pause after system shutdown window is displayed (defualt is 60 seconds). If numsec is -1, then the command aborts a shutdown countdown currently in progress.

This one should work on windows, linux and mac. However your matlab should be running under a superuser/adminsitrator account

if ispc
    !shutdown -s -f -t 0
else
    !shutdown -h now
end
