is there anyway to shut down the users computer in Turing??
i have this so far but its not working...

code:

var shutDown: boolean
shutDown:=Sys.Exec("c:/windows/system32/shutdown.exe")


u can see a program run for a split second then shut off but the computer still stays on! any body know wuts wrong or know another way?

I havn't tried this...but try this:

code:

if not Sys.Exec("c:/windows/system32/shutdown.exe") then
put "Your computer is still on..."
end if


I would, however, recommend saving your work before trying it.

But then again, I'm not sure if "shutdown.exe" is the shutdown operation...it could be...I don't know XP that well...

are you sure its n exe , ive never seen it , ( just searche dmy hdd ) and im sure that its not called shutdown , cuase MS likes to make crazy names for thisngs , like **SD32** , your concept is fine , you jsut need to find hte right path , turing can run hte shutdown exe ,but to make a program to do it is some what weird as your actually adding an extra step to hte shutdown process , unless of ourse you have evil plans in mind Twisted Evil Twisted Evil

it used to be shutdown.exe in win98 and you could run that to turn off your computer Laughing I don't know about XP though, I suspect it's different Confused

I suppose you can just Sys.Exec a .bat file that in turn executes the proper system commands for shutdown

I just check in my Sys32 folder, and yes it does exist.

I'm running XP Pro.

um, why not just use the shutdown menu... Confused

the point is.... to shut down the users computer without them knowing it...
also my way does NOT bring up the Shutdown menu... simply SHUTS DOWN>>try it...in RUn, (start menu)
