Hello,

How can we shutdown our system by setting a shutdown time.

For example if we want to shutdown my computer at 5.50pm how can we do it automatically.

Is it need any extra software. If yes please send me a good link for that.

Thank you......

shutdown -s -t 20000
-s for shutdown
-r for restart
-t for time


To cancel, run the following command : 
shutdown -a

larry is right, no upper limit on XP's shutdown. Vista's shutdown's limit is 10 minutes (600), but you can move the shutdown.exe executable from XP to Vista, and then use it unfettered with no upper time limit.

Create a batch file (e.g. shutdown_now.cmd) - (180 secs = 3 minutes)

:: Shutdown batch file. Designed to be run from Scheduled tasks at 17:50
@Shutdown -s -t 180 -c "Shutting down computer as it is 17:50"


Then create a scheduled task to run at 17:50 daily and call the shutdown_now.cmd script that you've just created.
