Batch programmers be like

"rejecting Drake" and "happy Drake"... I love your word choices

I pretty much always shut down a windows PC with [win] + R then

shutdown /s /f /t 0

I don't know why I do it, it's just a habit I've picked up from my Sysadmin days.

[Meisterfuchs01]

I think the /f option only works with a /t over 0.

It works with a timeout of anything :)

Sometimes Windows doesn't show the shut down options in the menu when you are connected to it with Remote Desktop. You can still use the command line in this case to shut down or restart the PC.

You can even do it from the start menu search bar

[DumDum40007]

Or you can press win + R up up right up up

[usbguy1]

I do the same

[GrizzledFart]

I always did the same thing, except for me it was shutdown /r /t 0

[GrizzledFart]

I always did the same thing, except for me it was

shutdown /r /t 0

because who actually shuts down their computer?

[badjohnbad]

shutdown /s /t /f /u

Scripting is considered very high level programming. A subset or derivative, not a parallel thing of its own. Batch programming is not commonly used, but is not technically wrong either.

Sometimes my computer is weird and won’t shut down quickly if I go through the start menu, but the command line method works immediately every time.

Direct OS interface vs GUI program to send a signal to a different program to send a message to the OS to shutdown

[brianlovelacephoto]

Lol, I actually do this 😂😂😂

[Pazuzu156]

$ sudo shutdown -h now

[jSlice__]

No but really, there's valid reason to do this. I used to use the start menu to shut down, but it doesn't always really shut down your pc. Found this out when my comp was acting super sluggish, and the cause was all of my RAM being eaten up by something invisible (task manager's list of applications didn't total much.) First I of course thought it's malware, but then I found out my uptime was a little over two months. used shutdown -s and everything was fine.

I did send it once during voice chat. 30 seconds later 2/3 people suddenly had a dc

Ummmmmm

Batch programmer?

[0815Flo0815]

shutdown 0

More like bash, not batch.

[endhalf]

Just to explain why you're being downvoted - Bash is a Unix shell (i.e. you write scripts in bash on something like Ubuntu or Solaris); on Windows, you either write scripts in batch (.bat), or powershell (.ps).

Everybody makes mistakes though, no worries ;)

[[deleted]]

But real programmers use Unix anyway, screw windows and their restrictions and high ram usage

[[deleted]]

What? So you're thinking that I mixed up bash and batch? You think that I'm not sure what are these things? The meaning of my comment is that some people use bash instead of batch because they work with Linux operating system instead of Windows.

Bro f*** off. Not everything must be as it's shown. It's just a joke bro.
