The shutdown button, a very anti climactic finale

Who needs a button?

shutdown -s -f -t 0

Edited to include the missing -s argument

I did get it right. I literally used that command in a Windows activation hack.

[โ€“] Boomkop3@reddthat.com 0 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Start by using / instead of - like all other old build in windows comands then read the docs and find you need /p or /s or /r to tell it what to do

then /t 0 does nothing, /t 1 (or higher) actually sets and timer and implicitly sets /f as well

you'd know this if you had actually entered that command. Cuz that's the info it prints when you get it wrong

Yeah, you're both right and wrong at the same time. I missed an argument.

shutdown -s -f -t 0

Not /, it's -

I never suggested I was running Windows 11, this is for Windows XP. I just double and triple checked, it's not /, it's -
