I had an idea for a program and saw this. Thank you for the advice, it really helped; however, I am not sure how to implement it all...

... when using the following commands, what is the correct way to input it?

following the example code given earlier, I typed:
ProcessStartInfo startInfo = new ProcessStartInfo("shutdown.exe", "-m \\COMPUTERNAME");

upon clicking the button this code was written for, nothing happened on the computer I was trying to shut down, though (unfortunately) my computer restarted after approximately 30 seconds. I don't think I input it correctly, or I was attempting to do something -m wasn't meant to do?

Also, when I typed "-t 10" (wanting the computer to shut down 10 seconds after the button was clicked, nothing happened.

Wat am I doing wrong?
Thanks for the help

Re: shutdown.exe (Question)

But why you use shutdown.exe?

There are API functions: ExitWindows, ExitWindowsEx, InitiateSystemShutdown, InitiateSystemShutdownEx. Try this.
