Computer Shutdown Task

The Computer Shutdown task allows you to shut down or restart the computer on which adTempus is running.

When shutdown is initiated, Windows displays a warning message on the computer. This message stays on top of all other windows and remains visible until the computer shuts down.

Once shutdown is initiated it can be aborted by running the following Windows command:

shutdown /a

Like all other adTempus tasks, the Restart Computer Task is executed in the security context of the user account specified for the job. Therefore that user must have the authority to shutdown/restart the computer, or the task will fail. To avoid running the job under an Administrator account, you can check the Use system context for certain operations option for the Credential Profile that is used for the job.
