    Found This file........

    Found This file hanging around in my system
    ~GL_1363
    which when executed takes you to the "Are we going to switch off or what"? bit of shutdown

    Is there a switch I could use to force a shutdown with it?

    Thinking caps on chaps

    if yer set up 4 re start it Re-Starts

    So I was thinking if maybe there was a switch
    it could force shutdown (switch off)

    even tho' the re start thingi was there........

    See what I'm getting at?

    Ah, I think I know what you want, forget the shutdown file and go to www.tucows.com and search for "automatic shutdown"

    I forget it's real name, but there were more than kind, of a little program that had timers and allsorts, and would shut your pc down exactly when you wanted, whether you got restart on or off. I used it for ages until I got dsl. i would time a download and set the pc to switch off after I thought I would have it, nifty little prog.
