Welcome



Ive made this blog to show you commands you can use in command prompt and how to use them



Now, say you got here not knowing what the cmd prompt is?

Well, the cmd prompt is a console on windows operating systems that controls your computer, from it you can do anything on your computer, and saves the hard work finding where to launch it from normally



The cmd prompt can also let you control your network (lan or wlan). You can remotely shutdown someone elses computer on your network for example.

It is also the only way to find your internal ip address



In my posts i will show you how to open, use and master the cmd prompt

Shutdown commands

One of the most powerful commands in the cmd is shutdown
Here are the basic commands

shutdown /s (shuts down the computer)
shutdown /l (logs you off)
shutdown /r (reboots)
shutdown //m *name of computer* (shuts down the named computer - a network command)
shutdown /a (aborts a shutdown, very useful)

Some extras to add on (can be added to any of these)

-c 'leave a comment here' (Allows you to show a comment when the command is being run, include the quotes if there is more than one letter)
-t # (sets a countdown, replace # with a number of seconds)

Sorry for the slow reply, but no, well not entirely at least
'shutdown -h now' will work on a mac, and thats the same as for any unix distrobution
