STEP SIX:

You may of noticed that the default time for these commands is 30 seconds, but you can change it.

To change the time from 30 seconds you type:

shutdown "what you want the computer to do" -t "ammount of time in seconds".

Where it says "what you want the computer to do" replace that with either -s, -l or -r.


STEP SEVEN:

To force a computer to shut down (Cannot be cancelled) you type:

shutdown "what you want the computer to do" -f

The "-f" simply forces all running applications to close.

I hope this has helped.
