How to write a program in c program that shuts down a computer in 20 seconds

[ianocar]

Hello,how can i write a program in c that shuts down a computer in 20 seconds

 

[mi1ez]

Why in C? Easier in a batch file!

shutdown /t 20

Or just create a shortcut on the desktop using

Shutdown.exe -s -t 00

s shuts it down and the 00 is the countdown timer in seconds.

for a complete list of options for the dos commands look here http://pcsupport.about.com/od/commandlinereference/p/shutdown-command.htm

Sounds suspiciously like a class assignment.

lol yea. On a related note, can anyone tell me how to program a "Hello World" message?

EDIT: Thought I better add a j/k to prevent any questions on what language I need it in hehe.

There is a application already for this DShutdown it does exactly what you want and more.

By a timer, time of day, when a application closes, whatever. It can Shutdown, sleep, suspend, hibernate etc etc...
