re: Ways to shutdown/restart your computer via Remote Desktop.

KillerLaban -

Let me preface this with the fact that I have NOT tested this. I would imagine you would be able to take the above script and tweak it a bit with the addition of option 4 (:lan) below:

:START

cls

@echo off

echo.

echo Remote Desktop Client - shutdown or restart

echo.

echo When you use Remote Desktop you do not have

echo the usual restart/shutdown choices.

echo This will RESTART or SHUTDOWN the remote client

echo according to your choice.

echo.

echo 1. Restart

echo 2. Shutdown

echo 3. Abort

echo 4. Shutdown LAN computer

echo.

set /p userinp= Choose a number(1-4):

set userinp=%userinp:~0,1%

if "%userinp%"=="1" goto restart

if "%userinp%"=="2" goto shutdown

if "%userinp%"=="3" goto end

if "%userinp%"=="4" goto lan

echo invalid choice

goto start

:restart

Echo Program: Please wait....

shutdown -r -t 01

goto end

:shutdown

shutdown -s -t 01

goto end

:lan

echo.

set /p computerName="Enter computer name: "

shutdown -m \\"%computerName%"

goto end

:end

re: C++ static variables

VR — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 11:15:21 GMT

I am using static variables in c++ code and have a linking to be done as the code is developed as a library.When linking I get the error as undefined reference to these variables.

MyClass

{

static int var;

}

.cc

MyClass::var = 0;//initializing.

MyClass::Add_Entry()

{

if(var == 0)

{

//get no: of entries(int)

var = var + entries;

}

else

{

for(var =0;var < MAX_ENTRIES;var ++)

{

//do something

}

This code compiles fine with the above definition in the .cc file.However it shows error in linking with the error :Undefined Reference to var.

Can anyone help me here?

Hi, StrAngel!

Thanks for the script. But I got one question. How can I run this from one computer, but it will restart another??

Ex. I'm using one computer (Home) and want to reboot or shutdown another (Backup) using that script you created with some modifications.

Please help :-)

Yeah..in Java this is a common practice to have static member variables. I was totally confused today when trying to brush up on some C++ programming and getting this error! hehehe...
