Re: Shutdown help required

You can use the Win32_ComputerShutdownEvent class in WMI to do this. Here
is a simple vbscript which shows general idea. Alternatively, a permanent
consumer can be created to eliminate the need for the vbscript. See
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en...asp?frame=true.

<vbscript>
if (wscript.arguments.count > 0) then
sComputer = wscript.arguments(0)
else
sComputer = "."
end if

set osvc = getobject("winmgmts:\\" & sComputer & "\root\cimv2")
set osink = wscript.createobject("wbemscripting.swbemsink","si nk_")

osvc.execnotificationqueryasync osink, "select * from
Win32_ComputerShutdownEvent"

while true
wscript.echo "waiting..."
wscript.sleep 1000
wend



sub sink_onobjectready(obj, ctx)
wscript.echo "Computer is shutting down."

set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.Run "notepad.exe"
end sub
</vbscript>
