Shutdown Windows 2000

I'm using Windows 2000 pro and I would like to be able to shutdown my computer with a command line (or a software). Do you know one?

"shutdown.exe" doesn't exist on Win2000...

I made a windows program that did it... works for any version of windows... It was just a 5 line program.

It's pretty simple in c++ if you know the windows api. Forget what the function call is though.

 

Ahh yes...

ExitWindowsEx(EWX_SHUTDOWN) in c++

 

You should be able to extract the executable "Shutdown.Exe" from the Windows 2000 CD, or possibly install the resource kit.

 

API in VC++ and in VB provides functions defined for the above purpose but for you C programmers out there,you have got to use the original ROM BIOS FUNCTION addressing.... :
here's some code for you guys:

Code:

#include"stdio.h"
#include"conio.h"
#include"dos.h"
#include"bios.h" 
void main()
{
       void far (*prev)();
         prev = 0xFFFF0000;
        (*prev)();
        printf("Please Standby for the Shutdown....\n");
}
