SHUTDOWN.bat

[userid]

I am trying to make a shutdown.bat file.
I know if i go to note pad and type shutdown -s -t12 it is suppose to shut my pc down in 12 seconds.

SO i type it in and save it as d.bat
It comes up as a bat file so i open it.

When i open it it looks  like this and just dose that for ages!

You are not using it right, it works just fine for me. About the code above, I don't exactly get what it is you are trying to do, are you just trying to save that code into a text file. Just open notepad paste the code, and save as filename.txt.

See, your problem is you put 'shutdown -s -t12' when there's supposed be a space between the '-t' and '12'
So to get this to work it should be 'shutdown -s -t 12

I am having the same problem, i entered the code fffreak said into a batch and it kept repeating.

Displayname i recommend creating a new shortcut on your desktop (or where ever you want), when it comes up it will ask for location, enter this into the field,   shutdown -s -t 12

then call it shutdown or what ever you want, when executed this will shutdown your computer in 12 seconds just like you want,  hope this helps

Once that code got out all over our school (we have computers in almost every corridor) and everyones shutting other peoples computers down. The schools computer teacher blocked cmd, run and regedit on all computers but not Group Policy
I don't use shutdown though, we can get in so much trouble if we're caught.

Trust me I already got in enough trouble at my school, for telling everybody about net send, shutdown, by making myself an admin account, and by locking everybody out of my account, including admins and teachers. My teacher called my parents and the school was about to make it where I couldn't use the computers for the rest of my high school career. I got lucky though.

Woah, poor u. I head last year a guy got suspended for becoming admin on a computer and changing stuff or something, don't really know the full story.
Every time i go on a comp now i get the name of it.....just in case....

[lordoftheplat]

i got caught too remember? mr williams lol...that was funny
i was trying to shut down my frnd's comp and well by accident i
shutdown the wrong one(pcname) and well the teacher caught me
and i said it wasnt me it was this other who used my user name to
shut that comp down AND HAHA i did not get in trouble just a little note

If you create a shortcut and have the location for the shortcut:

shutdown -s -f -t "10"

And just save it as a shortcut, The computer will shut down even if command prompt is blocked like at school or something.
I don't know if it works remotely (-m computername) but it should.
