I suppose I could make the program send a system command using "at" to make it setup a one-time-only task. to run at the desired time. I would just rather use it in my own program becuase using the "at" command to schedule a system shutdown or restart brings up the shutdown.exe window with a 30sec timer. I want it to be more like a 5-10sec timer, if any. Which I can control when using the InitiateSystemShutdown() command. Unless you guys know of a way to control the length of the timer from the command prompt.
