Shut down your computer from the (eventually DOS prompt) command line box?

If you want to shut down your computer from the command line or by executing a command in the command prompt, you simply need to run the “shutdown.exe” file. You don’t need to specify its path or include its path in the filename when running, just type without quotes “shutdown” plus a switch and press Enter and it should shut down your computer automatically.

The proper syntax to shut down your computer is:

• shutdown -s

Unfortunately, just running the “shutdown.exe” file will not shut down the computer. A switch must be added, “-s”, to properly initiate the shut down. When you run “shutdown.exe” only, it will only display the help of the command. The following are the rest of the switches that you can apply to the command:

• -i – this switch will display the GUI interface but it must be the first option in the command to work.
• -l – this switch will log you out of your account. Used to log off an account.
• -s – the switch to shutdown the computer.
• -r – this is the switch used to simply restart the computer.
• -a – this switch, when used, will abort a system shutdown.
• -t xx – this is how you set a timeout for shutdown. Replace “xx” with the number of seconds.
• -c “comment” – used to display a comment or message before shutdown. Just enclose the message in double quotes.
