shutdown /s /t 0
If I run this from a batch file, it opens up a cmd window and just keeps
running in a loop and nothing happens. Although running it from Win+R it works fine. What am I missing from the batch file? -- Bill Dell Latitude Slate Tablet 128GB SSD ('12 era) - Thunderbird v12 Intel Atom Z670 1.5GHz - 2GB - Windows 8 Professional

If your batch is left running you might need to "force" the shutdown, either try /t 1 instead of /t 0 which implies force, or add /f specifically

What am I missing from the batch file? Is your batch file called shutdown.bat? If so, then that is what is being run when you simply say "shutdown". Change the command line inside the batch file to specify "shutdown.exe" and the batch will call the executable.

I read your post and I thought I didn't really name a batch file the very same name as a valid command, did I? So I checked... DOH!

For example, right now one of my code-jockeys is writing a Windows app to monitor a folder for new PDFs, when one appears, activate the Windows print dialog and once complete, delete the PDF (printing solution for users of MED-V). 3 of the offshore QA guys reported that when the select printer dialog comes up the options to select what page are grayed out (say you only want to print the first page, just pages 3-5, etc...). Developer looked over his code and options for a while and couldn't figure out where he may have disabled that. Asked him if either he or the QA guys had dropped a PDF of more than 1 page in the watch folder. Sure enough, dropped a multi page PDF in there and the options magically re-appeared...

Somehow that's funnier (to me) than Bill's slip. But I admire you for catching Bill's error. Little things like that are totally obvious, but *only* in retrospect, and they are real killers. -- Gene E. Bloch (Stumbling Bloch)
