re: Shutdown using batch file Monday, December 3, 2001 at 9:20 am Windows 2000 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Vito Amato (1 messages posted) The following batch file, written by Walter Zackery, works for NT but I have not tested it for 2k. @ECHO OFF & cd/d %temp% & echo [version] > {out}.inf (set inf=InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall) echo signature=$chicago$ >> {out}.inf echo [defaultinstall] >> {out}.inf rundll32 setupapi,%inf% 1 %temp%\{out}.inf del {out}.inf The Resource Kit utility syntax is as follows: Release 2.0 written by A. Blatzheim 1993 at Microsoft GmbH Usage: SHUTDOWN [/?] [\\Computer] [/L] [/A] [/R] [/T:xx] ["Msg"] [/Y] [/C] /? Shows the help screen. \\Computer Specifies a remote computer to shutdown. /L Specifies a local shutdown. /A Abortes a system shutdown. This is only possible during the timeout period. If this switch is used all others 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 questions with yes. /C Forces running applications to close. ATTENTION: If you use the /C parameter NT ignores the application's 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!!!
