You can shutdown your pc with a simple command in Dos. It could come in very handy if you ssh or telnet into a pc.

Open Dos by going to start > Run (WIndows keyboard shortcut Windows + R)

 

- Type in command or CMD

- Click OK

You should now see a Dos screen

To restart your PC type in the command shutdown -r and hit enter

It will give you 30 seconds to close and save anything you have open.

If you need to cancel the shutdown you can type in shutdown -a

You can also execute these commands in the run window as well
