Reply: (edit)The best I remember when all we had was DOS and maybe a shell we went to the DOS prompt and turned the on/off switch to off.

And also Ctrl+Alt+Suppr or reset to restart and carry on the job (under dBase II ++, for instance, without any lost of data !).

Reply: (edit)Bonjour,
sekirt, thanks for this precision. The MS-DOS 7.1 (which is the real OS of Win98) exactly reacts as the "old pure" MS-DOS (to 6.22)...
Nothing have really changed in the IBM-PC systems before the NTFS ...

Reply: (edit)Hi, BiTByte. I just now downloaded and tried out your program in pure DOS, and I got it to work after a minute or two of trying to figure out what to do. I used the -n parameter to make it shut down the computer. Is that what I'm supposed to do? I noticed there's other options, like something to set seconds and something to set minutes. I guess that's if you want to set it to shut down after a certain time. I don't know what the -i parameter is for, though. ...Would you mind to please tell me what each of the commands do? ...I was gonna try out those sites and programs Wengier showed, but I guess I don't need to now. ......Well, I guess I'll look at 'em anyway. Oh, and thanks to everyone else who responded to this post too, by the way, even though I'm not the one who wrote it. Heh. ......Okay, that's all. ...Um, byes. :-)

Reply: (edit)hi, the parameters are -s for seconds
-m for minutes
-n no output
-i ignore key press example:
shutdown -m 2 -s 30 the program waits 2minutes and 30sec. and then it turns your pc off
dring this time it shows a time counter, with -n there is no output
you can abort with any key or use -i and you can stop it only with ctrl break
