This version adds the -x/--exitex option, which allows to use the ExitWindowsEx function on Windows NT. This is important if shutdown is supposed to poweroff on Windows 2000, since the InitiateSystemShutdown implementation on Windows 2000 unfortunately misses to do this. This version also calls InitiateSystemShutdown on NT 4 and older only, InitiateSystemShutdownEx otherwise. This will result in a more correct event log entry (Planned shutdown, other reason) beginning with XP. Again, for all who still didn't read this, here's the release message for 1.5-1: On Windows NT systems, shutdown now uses InitiateSystemShutdown to start system shutdowns and reboots. This function has several advantages. It allows to specify a time until shutdown, it opens a dialog in each user's session that a shutdown is in progress, it adds an entry to the event log and last but not least, unless you specified a too short time period, it allows to abort the shutdown by calling the AbortSystemShutdown function. Consequentially, this version of shutdown adds a new option: $ shutdown --abort (or just -a) which (on NT only) allows to abort a shutdown in progress. This, too, opens a dialog window in each user's session to inform the users that the shutdown has been aborted. Other than that, `shutdown --help' gives you all information you need. To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to your system. Then, run setup and answer all of the questions.
