theguy0000 Posted May 17, 2006 Posted May 17, 2006 (edited) (wow, been awhile since i posted in support...) I dont know if this is possible, but... i need to be able to shut down the machine immediately. not stop for programs "waiting for a response" or going through Windows' shut down proccess, or stopping to save. just completely power off. You know, like, how it does it when u hold the power button for 7 seconds or whatever it is. (i dont care if its an ugly way or an easy way. it will only be used if my computer gets too hot.)

Don N Posted May 17, 2006 Posted May 17, 2006 you could run "shutdown /L /T:0 /C" in dos, this will do a forced shutdown. the L is the local machine, the T:0 means now and C is so that applications are forced to close. _____________________________________________________"some people live for the rules, I live for exceptions"Wallpaper Changer - Easily Change Your Windows Wallpaper

theguy0000 Posted May 17, 2006 Author Posted May 17, 2006 sorry..Shutdown(5) ; = Force shutdown8)not quite what i wanted, but it works good enough. thanks for the help The cake is a lie.www.theguy0000.com is currentlyUP images.theguy0000.com is currentlyUP all other *.theguy0000.com sites are DOWN
Valik Posted May 18, 2006 Posted May 18, 2006 not quite what i wanted, but it works good enough. thanks for the help What you want is stupid, though, so it's good that you can't find a way to do it. The reason the OS takes so long to shut down is so that it doesn't damage the file system in the process. Holding the power button to turn off "instantly" is not good for your filesystem. Programmatically invoking the same thing would also be bad for the filesystem.

Valik Posted May 18, 2006 Posted May 18, 2006 Fixed Long-winded? You call that long-winded? If you're going to make yourself flame-bait at least pick one of my posts where your editing is actually relevant.

Confuzzled Posted May 19, 2006 Posted May 19, 2006 Could I suggest you fix the underlying overheating problem, rather than invoke a patch or workaround. A good vacuum of the insides of your computer case can often work wonders, and will prolong the life of your overworked components.
