Windows 2000 Plateform...

[Naseem Khan]

Hi all,

Can anyone please explain how to shutdown windows 2000 using java program. Well on MSDN I found one method which can shutdown windows.

DWORD WINAPI InitiateShutdown(
LPTSTR lpMachineName,
LPTSTR lpMessage ,
DWORD dwGracePeriod,
DWORD dwShutdownFlags,
DWORD dwReason
);

Is there any dll file available for this. I found one dll file csWindowsShutdown.dll. When I load this dll, then runtime system throws an Error says mscoree.dll not found.

Is there any alternate way of doing this?

Thanks & Regards

Naseem

Windows has a SHUTDOWN command, which you can execute using Runtime.exec.

Thanks Ulf...

It worked as you have explained.

class Shutdown{
  public static void main(String args[]){
    Runtime.getRuntime().exec(args);
  }
}

java Shutdown shutdown /L /T:10

This shutdown my computer in 10 seconds.

Thanks once again


Regards

If you look at the description in the Windows API reference on MSDN, it tells you in which DLL this function is: advapi32.dll.

Note that the description also says Requires Windows Vista / Requires Windows Server "Longhorn", so this is most likely not going to work on Windows 2000 anyway. You should use the function ExitWindowsEx instead.
