/t xx | Sets the time-out period or delay to XXX seconds before a restart or shutdown. This causes a warning to display on the local console. You can specify 0-600 seconds. If you don't use /t, the time-out period is 30 seconds by default. |
/c "comments" |
Enables you to comment in detail about the reason for the shutdown. You must first provide a reason by using the /d option. You must enclose comments in quotation marks. You can use a maximum of 511 characters. |
/f | Forces running applications to close without warning users. Caution: Using the /f option might result in loss of unsaved data. |
