Shutdown.exe problems

Shutdown.exe problems

• robinjam

  Damn, I suspected it had something to do with that but figured C# would ignore it if it wasn't followed something valid.
  
  Thanks for the help

  Now I get this:
  

  
  Error 1 No overload for method 'Process' takes '1' arguments C:\Documents and Settings\Deru\Mina dokument\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\Network watch\Network watch\Form1.cs 56 32 Network watch
  
  
  Error 2 'System.Environment' does not contain a definition for 'GetFolder' C:\Documents and Settings\Deru\Mina dokument\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\Network watch\Network watch\Form1.cs 57 64 Network watch
  
  

  If I my code it works as long as I don't use -m //deruu though I need it for my little project

  its command driven so you need to open up an instance of command prompt (start > run > cmd) then type in shutdown + arguments. Example:

  start > run > cmd

  then in the command window that will pop up, type:

  shutdown /s /f /t 20 /m \\deruu

  hang on, I think I know where the problem is.

  Process shutdown = new Process();
  
  shutdown.StartInfo.FileName = "C:/WINDOWS/System32/Shutdown.exe";
  
  shutdown.StartInfo.Arguments = "-s -f -t 20 -m \\deruu";
  
  shutdown.Start();
  

  the bold part should be 4 backslashes overall since a backslash in C# is an escape character so it should be:

  \\\\deruu

  does this work now

  Yes I know, that works.. But I want to be able to execute it from my application

  try this:

  Process shutdown = new Process("shutdown");
  
  shutdown.StartInfo.WorkingDirectory = Environment.GetFolder(Environment.SpecialFolder.System);
  
  shutdown.StartInfo.Arguments = "/s /f /t 20 /m \\deruu";
  
  shutdown.Start();

  you may want to try to take out the /f switch just in case and see what happens, it could be the fact that there is an application which has hung or something in the back preventing it from shutting down. You also need to have permission to shutdown the machine I think but if this was the case then you should have recieved a warning/error about it.

  my apologies, seems to be a typo for GetFolder, it should be Environment.GetFolderPath. And again, my apologies, the Process class does not take the overload but it should have been the ProcessStartInfo class.

  So even doing it this way shouldnt make much difference:

  ProcessStartInfo thePSI = new ProcessStartInfo("shutdown.exe");

  thePSI.WorkingDirectory = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.System);

  thePSI.Arguments = "args here";

  Process.Start(thePSI);

  I am wondering, what happens when you do this manually from the command prompt including all the parameters you used in the code where it appears not to work

  Try Environment.UserDomainName !

  MSDN Reference:

  "The UserDomainName property first attempts to get the domain name component of the Windows NT 4.0 account name for the current user. The account name is formatted as domain name, the '\' character, and user name. If that attempt fails, this property attempts to get the domain name associated with the user name provided by the UserName property. If that attempt fails because the host computer is not joined to a domain, then the host computer name is returned."

  I hope this will work!

  Best Regards,

  edit: I did not read this "nevermind, problem solved."

  Sorry! :)
