SHUTDOWN AUTOMATION
Shutdown/Restart
For Win2000 and XP. The utility is non-configurable and its main use is for using the Task Scheduler to turn off or restart the machine. It will not prompt for saving any current open files nor will it save any open files. It commences directly into shutting down the machine. Once invoked it can't be stopped. To have the machine do a Restart use the following switch /r
Example C:\Shutdown\Shutdown.exe /r
Also you can create two shortcuts and place them on your Start Menu and assign a hotkey to each shortcut. One shortcut would be for powering down the machine and the other would be for restarting the machine using the /r switch.
