                        This tweak explains alternative ways of shutting down 

                        your PC and more options for shutting down.



                        To shut down your computer from the command line, type 

                        "shutdown -s". This could be used in a batch file, for 

                        example. However, this does not shut down immediately - 

                        it gives a 30 second countdown. To see further options 

                        for the shutdown command, type "shutdown" at the command 

                        prompt and it will show you a list of options. You can 

                        even shut down another PC remotely! Logoff and restart 

                        are other options. 



                        Here are some of the other flags you can use along with 

                        the another ussage example:





                        Usage: shutdown [-i | -l | -s | -r | -a] [-f] [-m 

                        \\computername] [-t xx] [-c "comment"] [-d up:xx:yy]



                        -i Display GUI interface, must be the first option



                        -l Log off (cannot be used with -m option)



                        -s Shutdown the computer



                        -r Shutdown and restart the computer



                        -a Abort a system shutdown



                        -m \\computername Remote computer to 

                        shutdown/restart/abort



                        -t xx Set timeout for shutdown to xx seconds



                        -c "comment" Shutdown comment (maximum of 127 

characters)



                        -f Forces running applications to close without warning



                        -d [u][p]:xx:yy The reason code for the shutdown

                        u is the user code

                        p is a planned shutdown code

                        xx is the major reason code (positive integer less than 

                        256)

                        yy is the minor reason code (positive integer less than 

                        65536)
