Shutdown.exe/Logoff.exe Instructions
This Utility Only Works With Windows 2000 and XP
COMMANDLINE UTILITY: This means it is used through command prompt. (command.com/cmd.exe). To access command prompt goto START MENU>>RUN>>TYPE "command"
ABOUT: This utility was featured with the blaster virus, if you niticed you would sometimes receive a message telling you that your computer is going to restart within the next 30 seconds. That message was generated with the shutdown.exe utility. The following should give you a pretty good idea of what the shutdown utility does and how you can use it for your home, workplace or network.
Quote:
Usage: SHUTDOWN [-i | -l | -s | -r | -a] [-f] [-m \\computername] [-t xx] [-c "comment"] [-d up:x: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)
All of these commands are usefull through DOS, incase you want to create a batch file. I would recommend "shutdown -i". This will display a GUI Interface that is much easier to use.
Usage examples:
=Log off current user and forces quick shutdown of applications: shutdown -l -f
=Initate shutdown in 30 seconds: shutdown -s -t 30
=Cancel all initiated actions: shutdown -a
=Restart the computer: shutdown -r
=Shutdown other computer: shutdown \\192.168.X.X -s
NOTE: This is veryusefull for a system admin, with a simple batch/vb script you can make every computer on your network shutdown without having to manually go to each computer and pressing the power button. Also this is good for a VB application, you can use a command like shell("shutdown -s -t " & text1.text).
ADDON:
THE LOGOFF Function:
Quote:
LOGOFF [sessionname | sessionid] [/SERVER:servername] [/V]
sessionname >> The name of the session.
sessionid >> The ID of the session.
/SERVER:servername >> Specifies the Terminal server containing the user session to log off (default is current).
/V >> Displays information about the actions performed.
From what i understand you can use this connand to logoff another computer on your network. Also handy if you a network admin and at the end of the day you want every computer logged off.
Re: Shutdown.exe/Logoff.exe Instructions
You know...the really sad part is that in your original post it shows that you qouted someone else's work but failed to provide a source. Then you try to deny it. But wait...that must be wrong too. Maybe someone hacked your post and put that in there. :rolleyes: Whatever...I'm through here. All I ask is that the next time you post a tutorial that you post it on something informative, research your topic, and write it yourself or cite your sources. And as for your "example" the answer is yes. If you know the right answer then why copy...DO IT YOURSELF to begin with!

Example, you copy just the wrong answers from someone's test, then you go through and change every wrong answer to the right one. Would It still be cheating off that persons test?
