    Experiment with the shutdown command's switches.

    • -r will force a restart, disabling any services or user interaction from interrupting it.
    • -c "comment" will force a comment to appear on the system being shutdown.
    • -t xx will force a timeout for "xx" seconds. For example, -t 60 would perform a shutdown after a 60-second timeout.
    • -a will abort the shutdown.
    • A full command example: shutdown -m \\myserver -r -c "This system will shutdown in 60 seconds" -t 60
