    Creating a batch file
    « on: October 13, 2009, 03:57:50 PM »
    I would like to create a batch file that would log off the current user and shut down by itself once its completely logged off. I think it's possible but i don't know how. And no, simply shutting down the computer without logging off isn't what I'm looking for. Could someone present a command/s that will do this for me?

    Shutdown -l -t 01

    That should do it.

      So i tried the command "START C:\windows\system32\Shutdown.exe -l -t 10" and launched it, but doesn't do anything... Am I doing something wrong?

      Try without the start command. Just use shutdown with the switches.

        it doesn't work either, by removing the "Start" command. when i use this "Shutdown -l -t 10" it's causing a cmd prompt to come up,showing that the command is being used infinitly... i have to close the window because its just repeating the same command... hmmm

        What? Can you post a screenshot because I can't picture what you are talking about.

          Sure, heres a screenshot



          As you can see on the side scroll, its down pretty far, hence the repeating command.

          Did you only run shutdown -l -t 10 from the command prompt?

            in the *.bat file all that's in there is "Shutdown -l -t 10", when i run the *.bat file, it brings up what you see in the posted screenshot
