    Shutdown is the command for shutdown. and There is no commands built into DOS for rebooting, though you might be able to find an utility to do such.

    shutdown [{-l|-s|-r|-a}] [-f] [-m [\\ComputerName]] [-t xx] [-c "message"] [-d[u][p]:xx:yy]
    Parameters

    • -l : Logs off the current user, this is also the defualt. -m ComputerName takes precedence.
    • -s : Shuts down the local computer.
