Syntax: .shutdown -c .shutdown [<num_of_minutes>] .shutdown [-r|-h] [<num_of_minutes>] Results: Shuts the talker down or reboots it. It will ask if you really want to do this, just in case you accidentally type .shutdown. It will quit all users before going down. The "-c" string after the command is used to cancel an auto-shutdown/reboot. An auto-shutdown is done by specifying a number from 1-32766 after the shutdown command. If the -r option is specified, this will perform a SOFT-reboot. A soft-reboot will reboot the binary without disconnecting the users or losing their current information (I guess you could call it hot-rebooting) If a number from 1-32766 is specified after the -r option, the talker will SOFT-reboot after that many minutes. Without a number specified, the talk soft-reboots immediately. If the -h option is specified, this will perform a HARD-reboot. A hard-reboot will reboot the binary, disconnecting the users and exiting the previous system. If a number from 1-32766 is specified after the -h option, the talker will HARD-reboot after that many minutes. Without a number specified, the talk hard-reboots immediately. Example: To have the talker shut itself down in 3 hours, type --> .shutdown 180 Notes: On auto-shutdowns/reboots, broadcasts will be given by the talker automatically to let you and the other users know how long before it will shutdown/reboot. No users need to be online for an auto-shutdown or auto-reboot to take place.
