No problem...
Shutdown.exe isn't, strictly-speaking, a DOS command; it's a 32-bit
program, only available in XP/2000. But it does run in the Command
Prompt, and can be used in batch files and the like.
Anyway, the useful switches for shutdown.exe are:
"-i"
Display the graphical interface for shutdown.exe
"-s"
Shutdown the computer
"-r"
Restart the computer
"-l"
Log off the current user
"-t xx"
Specify a timeout of xx seconds before the shutdown/restart/logoff
initiates
"-a"
Abort a shutdown operation which has started ( -- useful for
neutering virus activity and unwanted remote shutdowns)
There are a few more. Type "shutdown /?" at the Command Prompt for a
full list.
