Timed shutdown?

[JMF]

Is there a way to give XP Pro a command like:

"Shut down at 1:32 a.m."

In other words, "shut down at this specific time"?

I've seen programs (like backup programs, I think), where you can say "shut
down after finishing." But I'm looking for something - maybe a utility or
built-in command - where you can simply say, independent of any program,
"shut down at this specific time."

Thanks,

John

You can use the Task Scheduler to invoke shutdown.exe at
the required time.
