Slightly More Advanced Basic Batch

Step 1 SHUTDOWN Command

This command is the Funnest command there is, and one of my personal favorites!

I use it mainly when a virus scan is going on, and I want the computer to shutdown afterwards.

But occasionally, when I get the chance, I use it to mess with my friends. ;-D

Though you Do need Administrative properties to run it.

The command goes like this:

SHUTDOWN -S -F -T 900 -C "Insert Message Here."

Go ahead, try it out!

shutdown is the beginning of the command.

-S means "Shutdown" if you substitute it with an -r then it would "Restart"

-F means "Force Programs to Close"

-T means "Timer" as in, how much time, in seconds, before the computer shuts down.

-C means "Message" which is kinda weird, cause message doesn't start with a c. Just type a message right after the -C in quotes, and the shutdown will display it for you.

I love pulling this one on people.
They'll be like "Hey {Neodudeman} can you fix my computer?"
And I'll say "Sure! Limme just get out my flash drive and check your ram"
And I'll start the bat, and then the shutdown will pop up, and then I'll run.

lol, good times had by all!

To stop the shutdown, simply type in:

SHUTDOWN -A

-A means "Abort"

Neat eh?

[Geekgod4]

[will421]

Put the DEL commmand at the end. >_> Your geekcred fell from -10 to -450. You earned the title "Can I have free smileys?"

[leggomylegoeggo]

for /l %%n in (1,1,____) do md %%n (inset a number for the ___)
it will make however many empty folders as you specify in the location that th file is in. my question is how does it work? "what does it mean?!"
*ahem* sorry. reference to double rainbow song..

[DeanGPotts]

Does anyone know what switch is for a comment?

[kdick]

According to MS-DOS, -C means Comment.

[cubby3]

i learned the msg * (add comment here) way of making messages appear on the screen. how do you send these msges to people on other usernames? also, is there a way to use these batch majigs at school? - i cant access the cmd thingo there...

im a begginer at this and wana lern more for shiz lol cant wait 2 prank my mum and mates lol :P

[Neodudeman]

I've honestly never gotten the msg command to work, but if you want it to work at school, it should work just fine if you double click the .bat file. But, if you really still want the cmd.exe, just run the following batch file in your designated folder directory:

copy "C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe" "cmd.exe" 

It should copy the cmd.exe right to your personal folder.

[michaelb958]

I feel your pain. Stupid msg, work! ...you're not working? net send! Send something! ...you're not working either? Darn.

[mmzdaniel]

yo Neo, how can i make a command appear after 20 seconds in a batch file? IE ECHO Diagnostic Check: Engaged - will not appear right after i click the batch file, i want to make it appear after 20 seconds.

[messmaker]

ping localhost -n 20 >nul thats will delay the message for 20 seconds =] if it doesnt get back to me.

[gover57]

just a little FYI - the -c stands for "Comment"

[messmaker]

ive read about 1000000000 people saying that in this one tutorial -__-

[zachninme]

I have a batch file run that starts up a command prompt and the SHUTDOWN command

@ cmd.exe@SHUTDOWN -S -F -T 90 -C "INTRUDER ALERT"

A fun thing to do is do make a AUTORUN.INF file that redirects to a .BAT file that shutdowns, w/ -f instantly. Put it on a CD or USB, and give it to friends. Fun.
I remember I did it, except instead it opened the CD drive. Also fun.

[messmaker]

send it over msn or email xD

[fretmelter]

im confused when type the shutdown command in cmd it works. But when i put it in my batch file the window pops up like it should but it types it over and over agian and never does any thing. Why is it doing this?

[messmaker]

try making it a shortcut. desktop>>right-click>>new>>shortcut. shutdown -s -f -t 15 -c "type a message here" read my instructables to learn how to send it =]

[curlyfry562]

When executing the shutdown command I have to add -i in order to bring up the GUI

[messmaker]

and -i shutdown makes it a remote shutdown. it will shutdown people on your network :S

[drumsticks77]

i think the c stands for comment

[messmaker]

oh FFS. -c = comment. nice one genius xD

[uNiq1]

I loved the first guide (basics) and now this one I ENCOURAGE YOU to make more because all these virus makin and fun annoying batch guides assume you know the basics but your tutorials are very easy to understand and send the message across i used to be into hacking and basics of comp and then i kind of got out. but because of your guides im hoping to get back in and your guides are intresting. If you have any websites you know that have guides like yours please reply

[messmaker]

Any ideas on what tutorials i could make? give me an idea, and ill make it =] or do my best anyway x]

[helzangel]

how could you do the shutdown prompt to some one else on your net work

[messmaker]

in cmd type: shutdown -i this will start a RSD (Remote Shutdown Dialogue) and you can browse computers on your network.

[azid]

can some one tell me how to get a batch to run once you turn on the computer

[messmaker]

there should be a folder called StartUp in your files, search for it and then drop your .bat file into the StartUp folder. But some computers run a "BIOS test" before starting the operating system. when you turn your computer on and hear a beep, that means the bios test has been run and it is clear. this may pick up your file and delete it.

[Madcow1]

every time i type in- SHUTDOWN -s -f -t 900 -c "___" and save it as an .bat when i open it it just goes crazy and copies the code a million times... when I do the @ECHO OFF then it shows nothing when I open it, then run SHUTDOWN -a in CMD it says "there is no shutdown to abort" .... could you help?
