How to shutdown a PC using CMD

Another option is the NirCmd utility from NirSoft:

http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/nircmd.html

I use it to put the monitor in standby and to toggle sound on and off.
It offers all variations of shutdown/logoff/reboot you could possibly need.

I am impressed. That's pretty clever, although also slightly
infuriating.

Hiya man.
Yes, clever always is infuriating. Nobody likes a smarty-pants.
But that's the high-achiever's dilemma. Do you talk down to people or
invite them to make stronger efforts?
Different people will see the above in different ways, depending on
their own mind-set.
Clever and challenging; arrogant and oppressive; silly and time-wasting;
a fit reply to a dumb question.

Anyway, I have a good answer to life. Have a bloody good laugh at it.
That's better than wine women and song.

Regards. Ed

Amen (not to be confused with any newsgroup mentioned by thanatoid that
I might look at).

I shouldn't have been so lazy: I haven't followed your instructions that
you posted above :-( or ...choose one.

I kind of do, to a point. An AMAZING amount of intelligent
people fall into that category.

But that's the high-achiever's dilemma. Do
you talk down to people or invite them to make stronger
efforts?

I have stopped talking to people entirely, except store clerks
and traffic cops.

Yes, my lousy choice of the two words was a good example of my
being a) dumber than I used to be b) not even having THOUGHT of
using a thesaurus to find better words. (a and b being the same
thing, really.)

Anyway, I have a good answer to life. Have a bloody good
laugh at it. That's better than wine women and song.

Hmm. I wouldn't say /better/. If you can laugh WHILE enjoying
the 3 other ones, that's even better. But some ladies get
insecure.

But if it has to be one or the other 3, it's a toughie.

Have a listen to this.

The moment it switched to a waltz I started laughing. The image
of the pathetic phallic rocket after the info provided (a lot of
which was news tome, I am ashamed to say) was SO ridiculous.

I hate this century. Those were the days (Monty). Although I
never could stand more than about 3 minutes of the Life of
Brian. What a bore. Maybe it helps if you've read at least parts
of the bible. I prefer more interesting fiction.

Thanks for the reminder - I had forgotten to watch it.

My favorite part was the astronaut playing the banjo. He seems to have
found a way to stop the complaints

One of my friends has an electronic accordion. You still couldn't hear
it in the above circumstances, but at least the speakers will vibrate,
unlike the reeds of a conventional instrument.

But now I'm thinking about my friends who play the gaida (or gajda), the
Bulgarian, etc, bagpipe. It's bound to be a deflating experience up on
the moon.

I was right, man, you have got fighting spirit. You're coming across
much better now.
I find laughter so essential that I can't conceive of life without it.

I use three things for my personal checklist of psychic well-being;
1. Is my libido intact? Do women turn me on sufficiently?
2. Am I still winning at chess?
3. Can I laugh just as easliy and readily?

Oh, and maybe another item. I need people; I need that strong feeling of
mental presence of others about me when I'm with them. I've had periods
in my past when I've isolated myself and buried myself in books; become
very monkish. I've had that existential black hole open up; the horror
of existence that Kurtz cries out against in Heart of Darkness
(Apocalypse Now).

Am I being tested or something?

Have you been on Prozac for 20 years? (I still appreciate the
beauty.)

2. Am I still winning at chess?

I have NO patience or concentration. I can't think more than 3
moves ahead. I HAVE won on occasion, but I find ALL games
extremely boring in general. Except Scrabble, but I have no one
to play with, and playing against the computer is not the same.

3. Can I laugh just as easliy and readily?
No.

I haven't seen the film, I hate Coppola, and while I have
inherited the complete Conrad from my father who was a huge fan,
after trying three books, I gave up. It does nothing for me, I
find it very old-fashioned in the bad sense of the term.

And, as I may have mentioned, I speak to almost no one. I have
been forced to accept the fact I find people very boring.
