prompt, from which you can issue Windows commands to shut down the the system.
Step 2. Check to see whether any users are logged in.
Use the query user or query session command.
Step 3. Issue the shutdown command and the appropriate options to shut down the Windows Server 2003
on the system.
You have the following options when shutting down Windows:
• To shut down Windows and reboot:
shutdown /r
or select the
Start —> Shut Down action and choose Restart from the pull-down menu.
• To shut down Windows and not reboot (either power down server hardware or put an nPartition
into a shutdown for reconfig state):
shutdown /s
or select the
Start —> Shut Down action and choose Shut down from the pull-down menu.
• To abort a shutdown (stop a shutdown that has been initiated): shutdown /a
For example:
shutdown /r /t 60 /c "Shut down in one minute."
This command initiates a Windows system shutdown-and-reboot after a timeout period of 60
seconds. The /c option specifies a message that is broadcast to any other users of the system.
