Stylin, works. The only thing it doesn't do that I personally need it to do is the "force shutdown". In other words "shutdown.exe -f". I found this page with some hints but couldn't get it to work: http://www.freevbcode.com/ShowCode.asp?ID=7693 I tried: nForcePowerDown=12 wmi.WMI(privileges=["Shutdown"]).Win32_OperatingSystem()[0].Shutdown (nForcePowerDown) But no joy. It looks like that code sample is referring to a function called Win32Shutdown(), which appears to be part of the WMI, but I couldn't get it to work. Here's the docs: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa394058(VS.85).aspx I tried: nForcePowerDown=12 wmi.WMI(privileges=["Shutdown"]).Win32_OperatingSystem()[0].Win32Shutdown(nForcePowerDown) Interestingly that errors out with "_call__() takes exactly 1 argument (2 given)", meaning I think that the Win32Shutdown function doesn't take a parameter, even though the docs say it does. _______________________________________________ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
