Standard reboot command
Next, we describe several different options that affect the reset of the computer through the "Command Line", but first of all mention the standard Shutdown / R command. It is responsible for sending a PC to a reboot and activated after 30 seconds after entering. During this you can close the console and, for example, switch to any other program, and the reboot will start without displaying any notifications on the screen.
Reboot with a timer
Not to each user who uses the console to restart the operating system, I want to wait half a minute while this process starts automatically. Therefore, you can use the SHUTDOWN / R / T 0 type command, where instead of 0 write any number in seconds, specifying the time through which it must be executed.
Ignor warnings when closing applications
During the command to restart the screen, notifications from working applications may appear on the screen that you first need to close to save progress. If you want to ignore these warnings, use the ShutDown / R / F string, and also additionally specify other options, for example, by setting a timer through / t.
However, consider that all the software will be closed more than without saving all the changes that were produced there. Add this option only with complete confidence in the fact that you will not lose important information.
Reboot with the message
You can send a PC to the reboot by displaying the notification before the screen, which would say that for what reason this operation is produced. A particularly relevant such option will be in those situations where the process is carried out remotely to another user's PC. Then the input string will look like this: Shutdown / R / C "Enter your message."
Immediately after entering if a timer is set for a certain amount of time, a message will pop up on the screen with the text entered. Its example you see the next screenshot.
Running a graphical interface
Now we offer to familiarize yourself with additional information that can be useful when performing the task. The utility used has a graphical interface that allows you to manage a reboot in a more convenient way. It starts input shutdown / i.
The graphical interface is called "Dialogue of Remote Completion". Accordingly, it allows you to restart any computer that falls under the control of your domain. Here you specify the target action, choose a PC, the cause, timer and note.
All the same as by entering standard commands, but more in a convenient form, as well as with the display of the names of the added devices.

Not all the options that are used to restart the computer through the utility under consideration were given above. Additionally, clarify the availability of various warning errors. With all, you can familiarize yourself with yourself by writing shutdown /?.
After clicking on the Enter key, the list of available options will immediately appear on the screen, as well as the command syntax so that confusion does not occur with the input sequence, especially when it comes to choosing another computer.
Cancel action
Finally, we note that sometimes the user after entering the command to reboot decides to cancel this action. It is also necessary to do this through the console by writing shutdown / a.
After activation, a new line will appear for input, which means that the action has been canceled successfully.
