Re: [perl-win32-gui-users] Shutdown, reboot, logoff and lock on NT and 2000 with perl?

[<dar...@la...>]

Tim,

I have had mixed success using Win32::InitiateSystemShutdown, it didn't work
effectivley for mixed service packs therefore I used SHUTDOWN.EXE from the Winnt
Res Kit which has several options:

Usage: SHUTDOWN [/?] [\\Computer] [/L] [/A] [/R] [/T:xx] ["Msg"] [/Y] [/C]

/?        Shows this screen.
\\Computer     Specifies a remote computer to shutdown.
/L        Specifies a local shutdown.
/A        Abortes a systemshutdown. This is only possible during the
          timeout period.If this switch is used, all other are ignored.
/R        Specifies that the machine should reboot after shutdown.
/T:xx          Sets the timer for system shutdown in seconds.[20 sec. default]
"Msg"          Specifies an additional message
/Y        Answer all following questinons with yes
/C        Forces running applications to close.
          ATTENTION: If you use the /C parameter NT ignores the
                     applications option to save data which may
                     have changed. You will see no File-Save dialog
                     box, because NT will force the application to
                     close. This will result in a loss of all data.
                     not previously saved !!!

$shutdown="C:\\SHUTDOWN.EXE /L /R /T:01 /Y /C";
`$shutdown`;

Tim,

The Win32 module has

     Win32::InitiateSystemShutdown(MACHINE, MESSAGE, TIMEOUT, FORCECLOSE,
REBOOT)

I haven't come across modules which do  of the other things.

Kev.

Are there any Win32::GUI options to to shutdown, reboot, logoff the current
user and/or lock the screen using perl on NT or 2000?

Thanks,
