shutdown.exe parameters not working

[Angel Blue01]

I'm trying to run an automatic shutdown that will hibernate the system
after counting down to 2 minutes. shutdown.exe in Vista supprts /h !

I tried this:
shutdown /h /t 120

and got the list of switches from an invalid parameter.

I tried various combinations such as shutdown /t 120 /h and got the
same thing

shutdown /h works the syetm hibernates instantly

shutdown /r /t 120 works -a prompt appears that counts down to 0 from
2:00 and then the system restarts

Nothing indicates that these switches are incompatible.

Why isn't this working?

Have you tried the same thing using a hyphen instead of a forward
slash?

It's probably not a valid parameter because the /t switch implies the /f
switch, which forces applications to close. That would put it at
cross-purposes, so to speak, with the hibernation function, which wants to
keep applications as they are.

Yes, same result.
