Mike,
You are right about the SHUTDOWN command included with the
workstation versions of Windows; however, the same command is available
on server versions of Windows with the following usage:
---------------------------------------
Usage: SHUTDOWN [/?] [\\Computer] [/L] [/A] [/R] [/T:xx] ["Msg"] [/Y] [/C]
/? Shows this screen.
\\Computer Specifies a remote computer to shutdown.
/L Specifies a local shutdown.
/A Abortes a systemshutdown. This is only possible during the
timeout period.If this switch is used, all other are ignored.
/R Specifies that the machine should reboot after shutdown.
/T:xx Sets the timer for system shutdown in seconds.[20 sec. default]
"Msg" Specifies an additional message
/Y Answer all following questinons with yes
/C Forces running applications to close.
ATTENTION: If you use the /C parameter NT ignores the
applications option to save data which may
have changed. You will see no File-Save dialog
box, because NT will force the application to
close. This will result in a loss of all data.
not previously saved !!!
---------------------------------------
Notice the \\Computer option which allows operating on a remote computer.
As I said in a previous e-mail, if anyone knows how to do this with the API,
I am interested. If you want this functionality from your own program, you
can always run SHUTDOWN from your program.
