Hey guys I am toying with a search (sdn.xml) that uses the shutdown.exe that comes with XP. It should NOT work with the one that comes in the W2K development pack. The one that comes with W2K dev pack has nicer interface but I am making the assumption regarding Uncle Billy's crew that they use a different shutdown.exe in XP for at least 1 good reason. I have put the XP shutdown.exe on my work W2K workstation without any problems. But if anyone wants to use this search to quickly shutdown, reboot, sleep or hibernate their PC, I can give them the shutdown.exe (or you can get it from any PC running XP).
However I do not know how to run the commandline call from within
javascript. So at first attempt I am trying to setSearchWindowText to the
appropriate run command. But then I can't get dqsd to simulate the <enter>
key press. Here is the code. Any helpers? The descriptions and
commandline switches (DOS prompt shutdown /?) need implemented and
documented yet. But currently I am testing it with the -i switch as that
brings up a GUI which can be cancelled.
<search function="sdn">
<name>Shutdown</name>
