tkinter messagebox which turns your computer off

Question

I'm trying to shut down the computer when the yes button of messagebox is clicked, but my code doesn't work somehow, and I don't know where is the problem

import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import messagebox
import os

res = messagebox.askquestion("Prezentácia bez názvu.pptx", "Failed to load. Do you wish to continue? ")

def shutdown():
    return os.system("shutdown /s /t 1")

def askMe():
    if res == 'yes':
        command=shutdown
    if res == 'no':
        command=shutdown

I suggest, for the safety of your schooling years, avoid trolling your teachers like this. Also you aren't calling `askMe` or `shutdown`. — Larry the Llama, Dec 04 '21 at 09:58

you don`t need to use return in shutdown function, just remove the return keyword and in askMe function you can simply call shutdown function. In the last you have to call askMe function.

from tkinter import messagebox
import os

res = messagebox.askquestion("Prezentácia bez názvu.pptx", "Failed to load. Do you wish to continue? ")

if res == 'yes':
    os.system("shutdown /s /t 1")
else:
    os.system("shutdown /s /t 1")
