Shutdown your PC using C program.

Hi guys all of we know how to shutdown the PC using batch file or by normal method.But have you ever tried to shutdown your PC using C program.If not in this tutorial i am gonna teach you how to shutdown your  PC by writing a simple c program.so lets see how to do this.

Steps:

1.Open any c program compiler and copy the below code.

Code to shutdown the PC:

For windows 7:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include<conio.h>//optional
main()
{
   char ch;
   printf("Do you want to shutdown your system yes or no\n");
   scanf("%c",&ch);
   if (ch == 'Y' || ch == 'y')
      system("C:\\WINDOWS\\System32\\shutdown /s");// s-shutdown r-restart l-logoff h-hibernate
  getch();//you can use return 0; instead of getch();
 
}

Note: 

• S-Shutdown.
• r-Restart.
• l-Log off.
• h-Hibernate.

It takes 30 seconds to shutdown,But if you want to shutdown immediately use shutdown /s/t 0 instead of shutdown /s in windows 7.Here /t 0 means shutdown after zero seconds.

For windows XP:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include<conio.h>
main()
{
   char ch;
   clrscr();
   printf("Do you want to shutdown your system yes or no\n");
   scanf("%c",&ch);
   if (ch == 'Y' || ch == 'y')
      system("C:\\WINDOWS\\System32\\shutdown -s");// s-shutdown r-restart l-logoff  h-hibernate   getch();//you can use return 0; instead of getch();   
}

2.Finish.
