Shutdown a windows server with php

[markfc]

Hi,

Has anyone done this?

It works from a command prompt on the server but not if I run exec...I get the shutdow helpfile displayed instead.

Is there anyway to see what command php is actually issuing?
Do I need double forward/backward slashes ???

Thanks

<?

exec("shutdown /r /t 0 /m \\services ") ;

?>

You probably need to double up the back slashes ("\\services"). If this is being run as a web page, though, then I'm hoping it will still fail due to a permissions problem, as I'd hate to think anyone could shut down a server simply by putting that into a PHP web page!
