How to initiate ShutdownPlus from a command-line interface or a shortcut on the desktop.
Cause
Administrators may wish to bypass the GUI interface within ShutdownPlus for a computer/server Shutdown or Restart.
Resolution
Starting with version 6.7, ShutdownPlus can be invoked from a command-line. This is useful for shutting down a computer when, for example, you want to provide users an icon to double-click on to logoff/shutdown their computer, or a UPS needs to shutdown your server. Syntax:
Shutdown the computer: sdplus.exe /C=T /S=S
Restart the computer: sdplus.exe /C=T /S=R
Logoff the user: sdplus.exe /C=T /S=L
Standby the computer: sdplus.exe /C=T /S=B
Hibernate the computer: sdplus.exe /C=T /S=H
Lock the computer screen: sdplus.exe /C=T /S=W
A shorcut to logoff would be the following (default folder): "C:\Program Files\ShutdownPlus\sdplus.exe" /C=T /S=L
Notes: The sdplus.exe program must be run from the ShutdownPlus folder. Programs will run as configured in ShutdownPlus Settings. All users will be logged off prior to a Shutdown or Restart on ShutdownPlus TSE
