Shutdown script

[Guest Stephen Ford]

Is there a script that runs on shutdown to enable intervention prior to

shutdown commencing?

Do you mean "abort"? as in: shutdown.exe -a

WinXP Home or Professional ?

 

If it is Professional...

 

Execute; GPEDIT.MSC

 

Go to...

Computer configuration --> windows settings --> scripts (startup/shutdown)

Choose; Shutdown

 

Add your script.

Re: Shutdown script

 

Hi Stephen,

 

You can use a batch file to shutdown your PC and put your shutdown

tasks before the final line that says shutdown /s /t 0

Of course this relies on the user clicking on (running) this batch

file rather than just a menu start / shutdown mouse or keyboard

sequence.

 

The batch file would look like:

 

call dostuff.bat

shutdown /s /t 0

 

 

The problem with a dedicated program or service that watches for

shutdown is that the machine IS shutting down! So you can't do

anything reliably - you may get away with doing some task if its quick

- but only some of the time - without certainty.

 

Here is a VBScript that I use on some client desktops - I tell them to

"run this icon" to shut down.

 

Option Explicit

Dim Res, strCmd, ExitCode, WshShell

Const EVENT_SUCCESS = 0

 

Res = MsgBox("Are you sure?", vbYesNo, "Shutdown Computer")

 

If Res <> vbYes then

Wscript.Quit

End If

 

strCmd = "shutdown /s /t 0"

 

 

Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

WshShell.LogEvent EVENT_SUCCESS, "Normal user shutdown command at -

" & Now()

ExitCode = WshShell.Run(strCmd, 10, TRUE )

Set WshShell = Nothing

 

 

 

Hope that helps.

That's funny. You have to do all that in VBS.

 

All you have to do in KiXtart is...

 

ShutDown ("computer", "message", wait, force, options)

 

He, he...

Re: Shutdown script

 

Technet Script Centre has all the free scripts you'll ever need & tools to create others

 

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter/default.mspx

 

The only true way is to temporily revoke the Shutdown privilege, do your stuff then

re-enable that privilege as when you start shutdown it will always continue with unloading

the 32/64 bit items & once out of that mode you aren't doing anything these days as such
