How do I add a shutdown command to a login script without Shutdown?
You can use the built-in Windows shutdown command in your login scripts, batch files, or Group Policy startup sequences. For example, add shutdown /r /t 300 to restart the computer after a 5-minute delay, or shutdown /l to log off the current user. This achieves the same result that Shutdown provided.
