278284 2004-10-04 22:29:00 I'm trying to shutdown my computer using the command prompt but I keep getting the message that "shutdown" is not recognised as an internal or external command.

Iv'e tried something likes this with no succes -

shutdown /l /t:60 "The computer is shutting down" /y /c

BTW, do I need to enter the name of my computer somewhere in there too?

Help Appreciated

278285 2004-10-04 22:41:00 shutdown -s is the command in XP. Should be the same for 2000 Davesdad (923)
278286 2004-10-05 00:04:00 I simply substituted shutdown with -s and it still didn't work. Scattershot06 (4844)
