Sometimes I’m not able to use the shutdown or restart function in the Start menu on server.
I found it from stackoverflow and I want to put here. The following functions can help us.
- shutdown -r — restarts
- shutdown -s — shutsdown
- shutdown -l — logoff
- shutdown -t xx — where xx is number of seconds to wait till shutdown/restart/logoff
- shutdown -i — gives you a dialog box to fill in what function you want to use
- shutdown -a — aborts the previous shutdown command
- shutdown -h — hibernate.
Additional options:
- -f — force the selected action
For immideatly restart :
- shutdown -t 0 -r -f
Dont forget ! You must have appropriate privileges to shut down the remote machine.
