Scheduled task

[myha]

Hi!

I'm having problem with scheduling my computer to shut down at the specific
time.... I use C:\WINDOWS\system32\shutdown.exe and i give the time when
computer should shut down but nothing happens... Am I doing smth wrong or it
doesn't work this way?

'shutdown -s' will shutdown your local system in 30 seconds, so if you
create a scheduled task to run that command, it should work.

The only thing you may need to do is to give it the username/password of an
administrator of the computer under the run as.

were a direct result of my fingers and brain not being synchronized or my
lack of caffeine.

Also note that the account used for the task cannot have a blank password.

Hi

PsShutdown.exe in the free PsTools suite may work better:
