.bat vista powerdown code?

Question

can anyone tell me the powerdown (not shut down, immediate power off) code for .bat files on vista?

Answer 1

Like the answer above but I use the force command just in case a program is being sticky

shutdown.exe -f -s -t 10 -c "Shut Down Started"

So that gives you 10 seconds to save all your files and ect.

Answer 2

the command

shutdown.exe -s -t 01

will shut down, but I think that's about it, I don't think windows will let you perform a "dirty" power off from the command prompt.  Have a look at

http://itsvista.com/2007/03/shutdown/

one of those parameters may help.

Just a note on the command I listed - I wouldn't actually advise using it as it doesn't seem to save your user profile like a "normal" shutdown does.
