hey all,

is there a way to call Start/Shut Down/Stand by from the command line?

thanks,
rodchar

Hello,

Type at the command prompt:

Shutdown: shutdown.exe -s -t xx
Restart: shutdown.exe -t -t xx

xx is the number of seconds before the event takes place.

As mention'd SHUTDOWN type in shutdown /? for options.

I have a shortcut for the shutdown command and place it in my quick
launch bar - it's a one click shutdown/restart.

You may try this shutdown.exe utility
http://www.budja.com/shutdown/

From that page:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Shutdown.exe is a simple command line utility that can:
Log Off the current user
Shutdown (Turn Off) the computer
Restart the computer
Hibernate the computer (note that hibernation has to be enabled!)
Put the computer into Stand By (Sleep)
--------------------------------------------------------------------

-or-

According to the help ("shutdown /?"), the second one should be
shutdown -r -t xx
Also, the ".exe" isn't necessary AFAIK.

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.

Question -- natively it's only Win, u, u keys. What's the advantage
to having a shortcut?
