thats simple command run by run command
"shutdown -s -t 20000"

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

Owned - Mar 20, 2009 03:55AM

the max time for shutdown is 600 (10min)

No it's not, I just set it to two hours (I'm using XP).

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.

are you use windows 7?
the command is not use "-" but "/"
so the command is : shutdown /s /t 00
in windows 7 the time is valid for only 0-600

MaskedTWilight - Jun 12, 2010 12:40PM

shutdown -s -t 3600 worked perfectly for me, and I have windows 7 Ultimate

Yoshi - Jul 16, 2010 03:58AM

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.
