shutdown scripts: difference between shutdown & reboot?
Posted by FNX on February 17th, 2006



I have a custom shutdown script running (set up in the group policy). Is
there any way to tell the difference between an actual shutdown and a reboot?

I need to synchronise shutting down a secondary PC, but at the moment
rebooting PC1 shuts down PC2 instead of rebooting, as my script has to assume
a shutdown.

Hi,

When the user chooses to end the windows session by using the
following Win32 functions:

ExitWindowsEx()
InitiateSystemShutdownEx()

The windows message WM_QUERYENDSESSION is sent to your application,
and after processing this message windows can send the message
WM_ENDSESSION with the wParam parameter set to the results of the
windows message WM_QUERYENDSESSION.

Hope these information helps,

Kellie.
