Wrighting "quotes" to a console

[Nova]

How can one send quotes to a console window using autoit?

Im trying to send shutdown -s -f -t 9999 -c "Shutting down"

but I can only manage to send shutdown -s -f -t 9999 -c Shutting down

For a console : Words seperated by a space must be inclosed in quotes !

This works (comment is only one word long!)

$wait = 9999
$comment = "Shutting"

RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c " & 'shutdown -s -f -t ' & $wait & " -c " & $comment, "", @SW_HIDE)

This dose not work (comment is more than one word long!)

$wait = 9999
$comment = "Shutting down"

RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c " & 'shutdown -s -f -t ' & $wait & " -c " & $comment, "", @SW_HIDE)

Sugestions anyone?

RunWait(@ComSpec & ' /c  shutdown -s -f -t 9999 -c "Shutting down"', "", @SW_HIDE)

you need to get the qotes right.

by head i think it sould be this:

RunWait(@ComSpec & ' /c shutdown -s -f -t ' & $wait & ' -c "' & $comment & '"', "", @SW_HIDE)

I tested the above because my comp is already gonna turn off lol. I think its right... i didnt get any errors, but nothing happened because I already have the window going so it should work.

Edit: YES! "Shutdown -a" does abort it =).
