Questions and answers
Rshut does not work in Windows 95/98. Why?
Rshut is an older version of RSHUT Pro. RSHUT Pro works with any Windows version.
Wherever it is possible RSHUT Pro tries to use built-in Windows NT possibilities
else RSHUT Pro uses internal calls to perform communication over network.
Can I power off remote computers?
Yes, you can. However it is necessary to install RSHUT Pro client on the remote computers.
To 'power off' working properly these should have ATX power supply, of course.
Why hibernate option does not work on my Windows 98 system?
Hibernation is a feature appeared with Windows 2000 and XP.
If you selecting hibernate for computer that is not supported this,
will be used nearest shutdown option.
Why Power Off command works as Logoff in Win98?
Use Shutdown command instead.
Will RSHUT accept remote shutdown command on NT when not logged on?
Yes, it will. RSHUT Pro can autorun as a service in NT/W2K/XP since version 2.3.
What about programs that cause "Wait - End Task - Cancel" dialogs on shutdown?
On reboot operations RSHUT tries work around this problem by sending
code ENTER and LEFT-KEY to the active window in a loop. This should works in the most cases.
For NT/W2K/XP RSHUT sets built-in system option to Auto End Tasks on reboot.
I send Hibernate command to the group of PCs but Win 9x displays error.
A same error will be displayed in NT - "this function is only valid in Windows NT mode".
Select 'Use Power off if Hibernate/Suspend not available' option to resolve this problem.
I want use RSHUT from a batch file but this displays confirmation messages. How can I cancel these?
Use
RshutPro.exe /start:"Computer1,Computer2" /quiet
.
