NirCmd Command Reference - exitwin

exitwin [shutdown type] {additional option}
This command terminates the current session of Windows. The [shutdown type] parameter can be one of the following values:
  • logoff: Shut down all running processes, log off the current user, and display the log on dialog to allow another user to log into the system.
  • reboot: Shut down the entire system, and then reboot.
  • poweroff: Shut down the entire system, and then turn off the power. (Only for systems that support this feature !)
  • shutdown: Simply shut down the entire system, without reboot and without turning the power off.
You can also use one of the following additional options:
  • force: Forces all applications to terminate immediately. Using this option can caused the current running application to lose data. Use it only in extreme cases !
  • forceifhung: Forces applications to terminate if they are not responding. This option is only available in Windows 2000/XP.

Examples:
exitwin reboot
exitwin poweroff force
exitwin logoff forceifhung
