Absolutely. Macromaker works just fine in recording a shutdowm macro.
I've found that an invaluable timesaver in taking our Dynamac portable
through airport security inspections. If you ask for manual (instead
of X-ray) inspection, the security folks always want you to show that
the machine works. If you have a shutdown macro assigned to a
keystroke, then you can go through that procedure without unpacking,
connecting, and removing the mouse. (To say nothing of finding a place
to use it!)

I'm a bit paranoid, though, and use two modifier keys, not just
command, on the keystroke assignment.
