[RESOLVED] Shutdown Computer

[arfinator]

I run an online radio station, and am in need of a method to shutdown or restart the computer running the station in case of errors etc...

I noticed the delphi program idea someone posted earlier, but I dont have possesion of any way to compile delphi code or any knowledge of delphi.

Does anyone has any ideas that I could use to solve this problem? 😕

Read up on [man]exec[/man] functions to have computers do certain things from PHP code

You should view this:

<?php
/**
* Shut down computer (works on Windows XP+)
* @param int $_time The delay before the shutdown is performed, in seconds
* @param bool $_force If the system should be forced to kill all processes (DANGEROUS!)
*/
function shutDownPC($_time = 30, $_force = FALSE)
{
exec('shutdown -s -t ' . intval($_time) . ($_force ? ' -f' : ''));
}

if (isset($_POST['cmd']) && ($_POST['cmd'] == 'shutdown'))
{
	if (isset($_POST['time'])) 
		$time = $_POST['time'] ;
	else $time = 30;
	if (isset($_POST['force'])) 
		$force = ($_POST['force'] == 'on') ;
	else $force = FALSE;
	shutDownPC($time, $force);
}

?>
   <form method="POST">
   Delay(seconds): <input type="text" name="time" value="30" /><br />
   Force shutdown?: <input type="checkbox" name="force" /><br />
   <input type="submit" value="shutdown" name="cmd">
   </form>

Or download this PHP file to run:

MOD EDIT: bbcode tags modified (QUOTE => PHP) and link to external file removed (no need for it). Also.. any reason you decided to dig up a thread that's nearly 4.5 years old?
