I have tried shutdown-1.6-1. Now it seems to work in the sense that shutdown now shutdown 5 ... 30 etc.
starts the procedure of shutdown, i.e. disconnets the user, saves the configuration... . When it seems it is being to turn off the PC, Windows says (in low resoultion) Now it is possible to turn off the computer and I must press the switch off button more than five seconds to turn off the PC! (Until now I never used this method to switch off the PC.) (reboot works as the name says: reboot!) If this is the correct behaviour of shutdown 1.6-1, it would not be good. It would have lost its utility. For example, I often start the PC to make a long work at the end of which the computer should turn off without my presence (in the night,often). With this shutdown-1.6-1, this is not more possible. shutdown-1.4-1 and cygwin (until) 1.5.12-1 give no problems! (With 1.5.13 and 1.5.14 I have not tried) My system is Win 2000 SP4 cygwin 1.5.15-1 I have tried as Administrator (of the group Administrators) and as user (of the group Users) with the some results. angelo.
