How to create a message for shutdown ?

[Elsie]

I would like to create a small program that allows me to turn off a networked PC.

I have therefore set up a code in a notepad which allows me to perform this function: shutdown -m \\pc-name

Everything works very well. But I'd like that before this function does, a window opens and asks to click OK to execute, or Cancel if I decide not to turn off the PC. Basically I want a message confirming the execution.

Someone knows how to do that?

You need to do a small VBS coding to display a prompt before shutting off your computer. It is very easy, you just need to get information on:

- Dialog boxes in VBS
- The command execution system VBS

and you can encode it in a dozen of lines.

may be but me and programming ...

I can do only something like this:

Display message "confirm?"

if yes => run "shutdown-m \ \ ?..."
if no => stop

it is not so easy to do?

Dim cmd 
Set cmd = CreateObject ( "WScript.Shell") 
Dim ok 
ok = msgbox ( "Hello", vbYesNo) 
If ok = vbYes Then 
cmd. run "shutdown-m \ \ ?..." 
end if

Save this in a .vbs file with notepad, and start your coding.
