Earlier I told you guys about an application which automatically shuts down computer and I found this really cool trick to make a few commands in your command prompt to shutdown computer with command prompt.

This trick goes one step further than the application I told you about. With this trick you can even shutdown computers on your network if you have administrative access. Specify time, add comments (the reason for shutdown), or even restart computers on network.

Shutdown your computer:

- First, open command prompt and type in “shutdown –a” and hit enter. This command will tell the computer to shutdown and –a enables the shutdown schedule.

-  Type in “shutdown –s –t 60”, this will enable you to add time after which the shutdown will take place and something like this will appear on your screen when you enter the command in command prompt.

- Type in “shutdown –s –t 60 –c “You are done playing games on your computer” ”. This will display a message on your screen as the shutdown schedule is placed.

-  Type in “shutdown –s –m\\computer2 –t60”. This command will shutdown the computer on network if you have administrative access.  Here computer2 needs to be replaced by the exact computer name of the computer on the network to work.

- To turn off the shutdown schedule, type in “shutdown –a”.
