How to shutdown a XP Pro computer when you are connected using RDC (Remote Desktop Connection) using a batch file or RPC (Remote Procedure Command) This is useful if you can't get to the computer but have remote access to the computer via a network or the internet. First To show you what you will see at a command prompt (command.com) when you type: "shutdown /?" Without the " " on each end.  CODE c:\>shutdown /? Usage: SHUTDOWN [-i | -l | -s | -r | -a] [-f] [-m \\computername] [-t xx] [-c "c omment"] [-d up:xx:yy]
No args Display this message (same as -?) -i Display GUI interface, must be the first option -l Log off (cannot be used with -m option) -s Shutdown the computer -r Shutdown and restart the computer -a Abort a system shutdown -m \\computername Remote computer to shutdown/restart/abort -t xx Set timeout for shutdown to xx seconds -c "comment" Shutdown comment (maximum of 127 characters) -f Forces running applications to close without warning -d [u][p]:xx:yy The reason code for the shutdown u is the user code p is a planned shutdown code xx is the major reason code (positive integer less than 256) yy is the minor reason code (positive integer less than 65536) This is an undocumented feature in XP so I have not found any writeup about it on M$ and everything used here is from other sources. Do not use "cmd" to start the command interpreter (cmd.exe), but type "command" for (command.com. Now you can shutdown the computer by typing "shutdown -s" or to restart the computer type "shutdown -r" To create a batch file for this you can use notepad, and save the file as .bat in c:\ (root directory) Here are the 3 most used batch files for shutdown: 1 save as down.bat CODE shutdown -s 2 save as restart.bat CODE shutdown -r 3 save as forcedown.bat CODE shutdown -f 4 save as logoff.bat CODE shutdown -l 5 save as rpcdown.bat (replace computername with the name of your computer  ) CODE shutdown -s -m \\computername and this last one is fun in an enviroment using RPC  So that's a piece of cake, the other options are self explanatory and if you need any help creating the batch file, ask and someone will help  Nils

Any idea how to force a standby NilsC. I've been searching and so far no luck. Id that what the -f command does (I haven't actually tried that one yet, it seems to be just shutdown with a force quit of apps).

This may sound like a stupid question, it's not ment to be. What do you mean by "force a standby" can you define what this term covers? The -f forces a shutdown, the problem is it does not let programs finish and close in the normal way, it forces (terminates) them and shut the computer down. so any excel or other file you forgot to save is lost. Normal shutdown will prompt you to save a file -f bypasses all that. Nils

By force a standby, I mean use a shortcut, command prompt command, batch file, whatever, something other than Start->Turn Off Computer->Standby to place the computer in standby mode. And, this is a long shot, I know, but do you know where the restart icon can be found?

Just want to make yours batch files more accessible and convenient to use. Just right-click on each of those batch files and assign a shortcut for it. Next time use it, just press the combination of keys that you have made. Cheers

for even faster access, create a shortcut file for each batch and put them in a folder. Right click on the Taskbar and go to toolbars New Toolbar... pick the folder you have the shortcuts in. Then right click the toolbar and deselct show title and showtext to save space

Is there any way to make a batch file that will lock the computer? (Basically hit windows key+L).

cool, thanks for this! its much more faster to double click a shortcut to a batch file to shutdom the computer or something, rather than click on the start, click on the turn off computer and then finally come to the three options to shutdown. i would like to add, if you are really lazy like me you can make a shortcut and give the shortcut a global hotkey in the shortcut properties. it will be like "CTRL + ALT + (any key you like)" once you press these keys together it will shutdown, hibernate, restart, or standby the computer - simply with three buttons!

This one will certainly come in handy as we work with nearly 400 computers on our network and it is difficult keeping up with which ones have remote access enabled. Plus when we tell the staff to log out and they dont we can just chuck the batch file at them!!! Thanks

You can also play a hilarious prank with this. >Right click on the Desktop >Choose New >Choose Shortcut >Type "shutdown.exe -s -t 60 -c "THIS COMPUTER HAS DETECTED A VIRUS!" (Without the quotes, 60 is the amount of time before the command initiates so it can be modified and the text in the quotes (the quotes around THIS COMPUTER HAD DETECTED A VIRUS are needed by the way) can be modified. >Once you are finished typing that, click ok >Right click the shortcut on the Desktop >Click Properties >Go to "Change Icon" >A message will appear, just click OK. >Scroll to the Internet Explorer icon. >Select it and click ok. >Click ok. >Now, if you delete the original Internet Explorer Icon, and change the name of your new shortcut to Internet Explorer, you can play a hilarious prank on someone by making them think their computer has a malicious virus! I've done it on my teachers. It's very funny.

Mysql And User File_priv
(0) HI, I've hit the grain while trying to import file to mysql database - I need to enable file

The problem is to set file_priv of the database user to "Y" . This is done in the "user" table of
the maintanance database named "mysql". cPanel doesn't allow this. Via the cPanel you can only
allow privileges on table querries but you cannot grant host file privileges to the database user -
