+shutdown +lock

[nitekram]

OK after going through 10+ pages I give up.

I downloaded a script a while back that would shutdown the pc - shutdown(x)

I have a few issues - I want to make sure that if the screensaver is going, applications are running, and/or the computer is locked - that the @$@#$@#$ PC turns off and reboots - or just turns off.

Without pushing the button to turn it off since no one does that anyway.

I run a process that does a test on the server databse everynight - if a user is logged on to the application the test fails. I need to make sure no one is logged on and make sure the computer has been rebooted.

So I added this shutdown(x) to a EXE and copied it to every computer that logs onto my network. I then added a scheduled task to shutdown/restart at a certain time every day. This part works - the file is copied and the task is scheduled - what does not happen is the shutdown.

I think the above code is what I am using in this exe - but I am not sure as I have tried so many. I guess it could just shutdown(6) - by the way - can someone PM me about how to reverse the EXE to a AU3 for future issues.

EDIT - had a hard time uploading EXE file - why are others aloud to upload them - but I am not?

I even renamed it - here is the ZIP

EDIT removed all the extra ZIP files - anyone know why I am unable to upload the EXE?

HI,

haven't looked at your code, but did you try the func shutdown? There is an exe you could use which decompiles your exe. Decomplie exe to Script in the Autoit folder.

So long,

Mega

Thanks for your help - I was able to pull the exe into au3 and the only command was

Shutdown(6)

so how do I force a force on the shutdown command?

well, regular user might not have permission to shutdown the computer (can be set via GPO). What user account did you use for the scheduled task?

For my test I am using myself - I have complete admin rights on the workstation - not on the server. I am able to run the command by itself, so I am assuming that it is getting stuck with work station locked or a program holding it up.

I have again tested this - with outlook opened, the data application in question opened, and a keylocks script from autoit forum that allows me to see NUM, CAPS, SCROLL - on or off status. I am going to test again by locking the computer with no application running - as in this last test the computer was not even locked - and it did not work. I will be back after a reboot - if it happens.

You could enter "shutdown -t 0 -f" at the command prompt which will perform a forced shutdown immediately.

If I could get them (users) to do that everynight - I could ask them to shutdown their PC - which does not happen. I would like to do this on a time per day - like 12:30 am or something.

Anyway after my test - shutdown(6) - turned into EXE file

with nothing running - did not run

with nothing running and putting username and password into the scheduled task - it rebooted and worked

with keylocks (autoit exe file) running and username and password in the scheduled task - did not run

any ideas - as I did not go any further cause of the autoit script that is running did not work???

edit spelling

[nitekram]

Holde off - doing another test - as I had the wrong date for the script running for keylocks

[nitekram]

OK - now it seems to work, I guess what I am missing is that this was not an autoIT issue at all, but the schedule task needs username and password.

This should be moved to chat forum...

I need to know how to add the user name and password into the AT command that I am pushing from the server. I will look it up, but would like some help if you know it.

Thanks

I didnt mean for the user to enter this command. Id do it like this:

#include <Process.au3>

_RunDOS( "shutdown -t 0 -f" )

and you can use the @HOUR and @MIN to perform this at a certain time everyday.

I think I would have the same problem - running it as a schedule task, otherwise it would have to run through out the day to check the time every x seconds.

Is there a way to set the schduled task to run with user credentials as then I could just push the task to the end user?

no username or password flag - i did find another command schtasks but I have never used it and will have to do some testing - also have to find out if it is only on XP or is also under Win2K

[Briegel]

I think this can help you.

[nitekram]

I think this can help you.

Thanks for your help: This should work...

The XP schtasks.exe command-line tool is great for managing scheduled tasks. Win2K doesn't have an equivalent command-line tool. If you attempt to run schtasks.exe on a Win2K machine, you'll receive an error message indicating that you're using the incorrect OS version. You can modify schtasks.exe to work under Win2K by performing the following steps.

Open schtasks.exe in a hexadecimal editor such as BreakPoint Software's Hex Workshop 3.1.

Find code location CB2A, and change the hex value 75 to EB. If you're using Windows XP Service Pack 1 (SP1), the code location is 0x0000CC50 (not CB2A); if you're using XP SP2, the location is 0x0000E3F8.

Save the file and exit the editor.

For cosmetic purposes, you can use Visual C++ or a resource editor such as Angus Johnson's Resource Hacker to change the error message

ERROR: The Target system must be running Windows XP or above.

to

ERROR: The Target system must be running Windows 2000 or above.

This error message is located in String Table 344.
