having the commands in an external script would fork a new process outside of the inittab so if it were me, I would simply join the commands to run as one within the inittab i.e..

For the love of god, don't do that! Using "&&," if the Windows host isn't available, and "net" exits with an error code, the local system won't be instructed to shut down.
