Turn off Computer

BlitzPlus Forums/BlitzPlus Programming/Turn off Computer

Does anyone have code that turnes off your computer? If you do can you post it of post a link if it is already posted. Thanks

ExecFile("Shutdown.exe -s -c "+Chr$(34)+"Because I said so"+Chr$(34)+" -d p -t 10") That starts up a program in dos that should shut down the computer. The chr$(34)'s represent quotation marks (which are kind of hard to add in in blitz without that command).

Is there a way to terminate this action so the computer doesn't turn off?

Yeah, use ExecFile("Shutdown.exe -a") to abort shutdown. Bear in mind however, that this command will only work on Windows XP.

Thanks Seb, is there a list of different system commands like this?

I need someone to post what the different commands in the code line that turns off your computer do. Like the "-s". I got rid of it and it screwed up my computer I had to restart it to get anything to work right.

This code archive entry has them.

Thank you all for your help

I'm not sure writing a game that turns the players PC off is such a good idea!?!? (jk)

If they cheat they will be punished.

(Joking) I will not put that in a real game, I use it just for fun.
