Is there a C++ function to turn off the computer?

Question

Is there a C++ function to turn off the computer? And since I doubt there is one (in the standard library, at least), what\'s the windows function that I can call from C++?

Answer 1

yes! for Windows XP:

#include 
#include 

int main()
{
   char ch;

   printf("Do you want to shutdown your computer now (y/n)\n");
   scanf("%c", &ch);

   if (ch == 'y' || ch == 'Y')
       system("C:\\WINDOWS\\System32\\shutdown -s");
       return 0;
}

For Windows 7

system("C:\\WINDOWS\\System32\\shutdown /s");

For Linux

system("shutdown -P now");
