OT shutdown pc automaticly

[VIPER0904]

Ok, i got an offtopic question.

I've got a spare pc and i'm using it only for watching tv, i installed cyberlink powercinema and my question is how i can let the pc shutdown automaticly when i shutdown powercinema, i'm using a remote and when i push the on/off button on the remote i closes powercinema and returns to windows but i want it to shutdown the pc, any thoughts?

An autoHotkey script can do it.

Just have it wait for the process to close then send a shutdown command.

To shutdown, use the following command line in your AHK script:

shutdown.exe /s /f

Or you can use the AHK code which will do the same thing.

Shutdown, 5

Where Shutdown is the command to shutdown and 5 is (Shutdown+Force=1+4=5).

Good to know. I didn't realize it was built in! I figured you would have to use a run statement, but this is better.

Yup. Figured I'd suggest to use code since will be coding in AHK.

Here's the command for future reference.
