I am trying to set a shedule task to shutdown a computer using a batch file. The expression I used in cmd prompt is shutdown -s -t 120 But at the sheduled time the specified action is not taking place instead the in the command prompt this command (shutdown -s -t 120) is coming in an infinite loop. Can you please advise me to rectify it. Hope I have explained the problem correctly. Thanks in advance KPS Aseem, Thanks a lot for this precious article.

I have a scheduled task that I run every minute and the flashing of the command line on the screen is distracting. Is there a way to prevent the command line from flashing but still allow the bat file to run? Thanks! Aseem, thanks for the helpful article.
