Shutdown Command

[Guest]

Hi,
I use a backup program (Novastor's Novabackup). There is an option within
the program to insert a command or run a program after the backup function
has been completed.

I would like to instruct the program to shut the computer down after the
backup has completed.

What exactly should be put in the command line to have this happen?

Thanks.

Thanks for the reply.

The area where I can input this seems to be looking either for a "program"
or "batch file". There is a box that allows presumably a command--there is a
"Browse" button which when pressed, allows via a dop down menu either
"Programs" or "Batch Files".

I tried the "shutdown -s" and "shutdown" (both without quotes) but it did
not work nor did the command "stay" in the box.

What am I missing?

I wonder if you have a running program?

I use shutdown -s -f to force the machine to close. Try
shutdown /? to see the various allowed parameters.
