shutdown dilemma

6 posts · originally from https://geek.digit.in/community/threads/shutdown-dilemma.30699/

i use a P2P software 2 download songs. but i have to shutdown my system by 6:00AM... coz i'm on a night plan -> 10:00PM - 6:00AM free

i use the 'shutdown -s -f -t xyz' command where xyz -> some time limit in seconds

my brother says that this kinda shutdown from the command prompt results in a system crash. is it true?

please help!!

no prob , nothing going to happen .

if u want u also have software available .

autoshutdown .

use free download manager
it downloads
it stops internet connection
it shuts ur pc down

^^
He uses P2P so no question of FDM here...

@ Author - No it doesnt affect the system at all, however make sure that before you leave the computer, no documents remain open. Also the P2P software should support resumption.

@ QM
does bearshare pro 5.2.4.1 supports resumption

You can hibernate your system otherwise.
