Shutdown.exe command line using -l -t <nn> doesn't work

The following logs off the user immediately, instead of after 120
seconds as I'd hoped:

%windir%\System32\SHUTDOWN.exe -l -t 120

Using Windows XP Pro w/SP 2. Am I not understanding the "-t " option
correctly? Doing something else wrong?

Thanks.

Click to expand...

The -l is for logoff.. the -t is the time until shutdown/restart - not
logoff.

If you tell shutdown to logoff the user, it does that.. but shutdowns main
purpose is ... shutdown and restart, so all other command switches have to
do with that.
