Initial Steps

*1) Press Windows Key + R. *2) Enter CMD and press Enter.

Execute it

Write command in the cmd:

That will Turn your computer off in 60sec and display the message. WARNING: After you start this, you can not stop it!!!! (unless you know how..... -a |Abort ;) )

On the terminal you should type:

e.g. to reboot the machine immediately

sudo shutdown -r now
