Hello,

I was trying to create an Autoit script for use in LiveXP that automates a few tasks. When done, I wanted it to shutdown or reboot LiveXP. Does anyone know a simple way to do this? Autoit tries to use Shutdown which is not part of default build so it fails, then I tried using various DLL calls using rundll32. Only one I can find is the one that brings up the standard shutdown GUI which you still have to respond to.

Must be someway of doing this since Ghost can do it.....

Thanks for any ideas

Why do you not simply add shutdown.exe (21 kB) to the build?

I did try that, but it seems to require a bunch of dll to run, and when I added them all in, it still would not do it.

Shutdown does not work in the protected Windows environment.

As long as your default shell is CMD you can have the shell run 'exit' upon completion.

Did you already try autoit let ProcessClose the shell (Peloader or Explorer, depending on your build)?

No I did not try that. Will give it a go right now and see if it works...

I hope he's not using Explorer.

I once set the default shell to Explorer. No winpeshl or peloader or anything in the background like that. Just the explorer shell. It died in the middle of a filecopy.

*Pff! Reboot!*

Never again. =/

I'm using a resource delimiter on all my builds.

OK nice one. A process close on PELoader.exe instigates an immediate reboot.

Thanks for the quick ideas...
