Shut down tasks
Command
JIT Scheduler can perform System shut down. In this case "Command" property must contain one of the following keywords : "TURNOFF", "SHUTDOWN", "REBOOT" or "LOGOFF".
TURNOFF - Turn the computer off. This command is supported by MS Windows® 98, 2000, XP and requires hardware support of turning off programmatically. Most of all modern computers support this feature.
SHUTDOWN - Shut down the operating system.
REBOOT - Restart the computer.
LOGOFF - Log off user.
Sometimes user may be not allowed to perform shut down by security settings.
Shutting down remote computers
It is possible to shut down the remote computers. The network names of the desired computers must be specified in the "Computers" property. Names must be divided by comma. Specify star character " * " to shut down all computers in the domain (See Note2). When "Computers" property is empty, the task is executed on the local computer.
There is the inconvenience : remote shut down can be performed by a program running under Administrator's account. System Scheduler runs under "SYSTEM" account by default. It is possible to specify Administrator's account for it, but in this case Windows doesn't allow the service to interact with desktop.
 1. Note, remote shut down is supported under MS Windows® NT 4/2000/XP.
2. Note, It seems, that local computer can't be shut down using network functions. Specify dot " . " or leave the "Computers" property empty to shut down local computer. |
