From what I can tell right away, power isn't a recognized function in CC (correct me if I am wrong). Also, it appears that passt is a string and therefore you can't perform arithmetic in comparison, like checking if it's greater than or equal to. However, I'm not entirely sure that Lua doesn't allow arithmetic on strings.

The variable power is set to the rs.setOutput function, so it calls that. Also, he's talikng about the other code :)/>/>.

It looks like you forgot the brackets after a function call (most probably os.reboot()), check that in your code.
