Schedule Computer Shutdown

Hello Friends!

I welcome you again to the exciting world of KNOW-UR-PC. It feels like months that I have not written something for knowledge sharing(It's true actually).

So, here I am back again to restart this wonderful journey.

In today's knowledge sharing, I will teach you to schedule the process of shutting down your system.

Lets get started:

#1: Press Windows(icon in your keyboard)+R key

You will see the Run window

#2: Type shutdown.exe -s -t xxxx



Here xxxx is the time(in seconds), after which you wish to shutdown the terminal

For eg: for 2 hours, xxxx = 7200(as 60*60)

Now press Enter(or click OK)

#3: There's no 3rd step! you are done dear readers!!

To Abort this process

#1: Open Run window again as mentioned in the #1 of the previous step.

#2: Type shutdown.exe -a



& you are done... :)

From next time onwards, if you are downloading a movie, you don't have to follow up on that!

Simply run these set of commands and the system will take care of itself!!!


Rest is Next.

Happy Downloading.. :)
