What is the Windows 7 shutdown command?
The shutdown command in Windows 7 is just that, shutdown. However simply typing shutdown will render no results, it needs to have a letter (argument) typed after it. Here’s the easy to understand example given by Microsoft: Usage: shutdown [/i | /l | /s | /r | /g | /a | /p | /h | /e] [/f] [/m \computer][/t xxx][/d [p|u:]xx:yy [/c “comment”]] i To translate, the command is: shutdown /LETTER or a more specific example: shutdown /s However there are some letters that have variables after them, such as /m which allows you to type the address or name of a network computer you want to remotely shutdown. There are really quite a few of them so here is a list of the available shutdown options for the command. /i Display the graphical user interface (GUI). This must be the first option. /l Log off. This cannot be used with /m or /d options. /s Shutdown the computer. /r Restart the computer. /g Shutdown and restart the computer. After the system is rebooted, restart any registered applications.
