1.	Solve : writing a simple batch file to shutdown pc in x minutes?
Answer» Hi - I currently have many xp shortcuts in a folder that ALLOW me to shut down my pc in x number of SECONDS For example I'm using C:\WINDOWS\system32\shutdown.exe -f -s -t 2400 in a shortcut to shut down in 40 minutes. I'm trying to write a batch file that will prompt me for the number of MINUTES in which the pc should shut down. Can some one help me fill in the BLANKS here - I don't know what I'm doing... thanks, Jami echo off echo Minutes until shut down? echo. rem enter minutes press - then hit enter set /p min=[promptString] rem multiplies minutes by 60 for seconds (sec) rem drops the product into the shutdown statement C:\WINDOWS\system32\shutdown.exe -f -s -t sec CODE: [Select]echo off echo Minutes until shut down? echo. set /p min=Minutes: set /a sec=%min%*60 shutdown -s -f -t %sec%
