check this:
http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.p...light=shutdown

Or you can use this:

VB Code:

'-f to force app to close 
Process.Start("shutdown", "-s -f -t 00") 'ShutDown  -s 
Process.Start("shutdown", "-r -f -t 00") 'Restart -r 
'etc...
Process.Start("shutdown", "-a")

Hope this helps...

Regards,

as i told you have a look @ this thread:
http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.p...light=shutdown

VB Code:

Process.Start("shutdown.exe", "-I -f -t 00") 'Log Off

Regards,

i've seen that thread b4

PS
WindowsController.ExitWindows(RestartOptions.Reboot, True)
wts windows controller?? its not recognised...

:rolleyes: Look at post #4 in that thread.

.. nvm

Anyone find the code to put the machine in STANDBY mode?

I realize the thread is old but I finally tracked down the answer, use SuspendState API:

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa373201.aspx (Sorry for the VB6 code).

VB Code:

Private Declare Function SetSystemPowerState Lib "kernel32" (ByVal fSuspend As Integer, ByVal fForce As Integer) As Integer
Private Declare Function SetSuspendState Lib "powrprof.dll" (ByVal Hibernate As Boolean, ByVal ForceCritical As Boolean, ByVal DisableWakeEvent As Boolean) As Boolean
 
Public Sub GotoStandbyMode()
    'SetSystemPowerState 1, 0 ' doesn't seem to work...?
    SetSuspendState False, False, False
End Sub
