#3234

when you remote desktop to your windows server how can you shut it down if there is not shutdown button?

well, you can shut it down very easy through the DOS command prompt by sending this command:

shutdown -s -t 1

the -t is for how many seconds before it shuts downs, since i dont like waiting, i set it to 1 second, otherwise, you can leave it without -t and the default is 30 seconds

shutdown -s

does that help?
