Vista Shutdown and reboot

How can I tell when a Vista shuts down?

Event logs don't show a thing. Actually, the log files show no
activity when there was acticity.

thanks

Hmm.. generally you can tell when it's shut down when you press the keyboard
a bit and it doesn't seem to "wake up" P

When I turned the monitor off, the machine was running a virus scan.
Normally if the machine is idled for a while, the machine is locked
and I have enter a password, and the machine takes about 30 seconds to
get back to normal.
This time, I had to log in after I turn the machine on and it took
abot 3 minutes to get back to normal with all the icons.

Why do i know it rebooted.. When the machine is locked and restarted,
I dpn't get the APC software being loaded. When the machine reboots,
that software has to load.

APC has a beta software for Vista on their site. also change your perameters
to never shut off hdd. and set your monitor to desired sleep modes. Look
for a file called : PowerChute Personal edition (Version 2.11.15.0)
