Auto shutdown Windows

If you are using Windows 2000 line-up (2000, XP, 2003 or Vista), scheduling shutdown of your system is a piece of cake. All you need to do is this:

1. Go to Start -> Run
2. Type shutdown -s -t timeinsecs

Here timeinsecs refers to the duration after which you want the shutdown to commence. For instance, if I want to shutdown my system after an hour, then my timeinsec = 3600
(1 hour is 60 min, i.e. 60 * 60 = 3600 secs). So you need to enter
shutdown -s -t 3600 .

   3.   Press Enter. You will get a message saying the system is shutting down, something like this:


And that's it, you are done... :)

TIP: If you want to abort your shutdown at any time, just go to Start -> Run like before, and then type: shutdown -a. The shutdown will stop. Do try it out. Have fun!
