Shutdown Command Examples

1.
shutdown -r -f -t 0

That command will reboot the computer (-r), force all applications to close so that one doesn’t
get stuck and prevent the reboot from happening (-f), and it will happen immediately with a zero
second delay (-t 0).

2.

shutdown -s -f -m \\UPSTAIRS -t 60 -c "Shutting down for storm. Save work and


close apps."

This command shuts down the computer (-s), forces running applications to close (-f), designates the
remote PC by name (-m \\UPSTAIRS) because you’re executing the command on your own PC, gives a
time delay of 60 seconds (-t 60), and provides a descriptive message (-c) that will appear on your
spouse’s computer to notify them of the impending shutdown.
