is started with any of the other options, the local computer name will be
used.
/l

Caution
If you use the /c parameter, Windows 2000 ignores the application's option
to save data that might have changed. You will see no File Save dialog box,
because Windows 2000 will force the application to close. This will result
in a loss of all data not previously saved.
/? (or shutdown without parameters)
display help.
Examples
Shutdown and reboot a remote computer.
shutdown \\IMAREMOTECOMPUTER /R
