Force Shutdown PowerPoint & reboot PC.

Question

Hi,

 Please can you help, I need a script that will Force Shutdown PowerPoint if running and reboot PC.

Cheers.

Answer 1

The following command can be placed in a *.bat file:

shutdown -r -f -t 10

The -r causes a reboot

The -f forces running applications to close (i.e., PowerPoint and anything else that is running)

The -t 10 causes the shutdown to happen 10 seconds after the command is executed.  If -t is omitted, the default is 20 seconds
