I can't speak to Mac or Linux, but Windows has the shutdown.exe program.
So you could easily write a script to launch the client backup, then run
shutdown.exe. Trivial example of a hypothetical script called
backup_and_shutdown.cmd:

   cd /d "c:\program files\tivoli\tsm\baclient"
   dsmc i > dsmc.out 2>&1
   shutdown -s

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
The command line is your friend.
"Good enough" is the enemy of excellence.
