In order to be able to do this you need forms to connect to the DB as the sys user. Most DBAs, sensibly, don't allow this. So before telling you how - can you connect to the DB as sys using forms?
Cause if you can't then what you want isn't possible.

Sometimes, we developers, have to educate customers when they ask for something that doesn't make sense or is hazardous. In my humble opinion, shutting down the database from a Form is both of these and whoever is asking you for the ability to shut down the database should be educated on why this is a "Bad Idea!"
As Littlefoot mentioned, if you shutdown the database from a Form, it will cause your Forms session to terminate as well. How are you going to restart the database after it's been shutdown? The DBA will still have to manually start up the database.
As you can tell by all of the replies asking "Why would you want to do that" that none of us think this is a good idea.
