/stop[:pc_list] - Stop necessary action on computers. If the parameter pc_list is omitted local computer is supposed. For more examples of its usage please look examples below. /timeout:nn - Specifies timeout to delay action execution for. /message:[text|filename] - Specifies custom message to be displayed, as a text or is taken from file.

If you have the only one CD-ROM drive in your system you can omit 'drive' parameter. /report - Display results on action execution. /quiet - The reverse option to '/report', i.e. do not display any messages on the action execution. This is default option. /license:"filename.key" - Enter license key (when you have obtained legal license from us) manually from the command line. By default RSHUT accepts license files automatically when they placed in the directory 'License'. Also you can enter your license from the program using 'Browse' button.

/monitor:[low|on|off] - Set monitor power saving mode. Rarely setting monitor to the state 'low' (depend on monitor) can make it failure to return in 'on' state, use 'off' state instead in this case. /saver[:pc_list] - Start default screen saver (if installed in the system). /autostart , /noautostart - Set or clear autorun for RSHUT on this computer. /execute:"command" - Execute the command on remote computer(s). /reboot[:pc_list] - Reboot local or remote computer(s). /shutdown[:pc_list] - Shutdown local or remote computer(s). Use '/poweroff' instead if you wish them be powered off. /poweroff[:pc_list] - Shutdown and power off local or remote computer(s). /logoff[:pc_list] - Log off local or remote computer(s). /suspend[:pc_list] - Suspend local or remote computer(s). To be able use it the action should be supported by your hardware and Windows. /hibernate[:pc_list] - Hibernate local or remote computer(s). To be able use it the action should be supported by your hardware and Windows. It is available in Windows 2000/XP only. /lock[:pc_list] - Lock local or remote computer(s) (available only in Windown NT/2K/XP, in Windows 9x/ME it is screen saver started instead). /wol[:pc_list] - Wake up remote computers over network. /mac:MAC_address - Specifies MAC address of the PC you are sending WOL request. Can be useful if RSHUT still does not kept its MAC address in own list or the address stored is incorrect. After this call RSHUT will store this new MAC address for further calls.

Process termination options:

/close - Send each application request message for current session end. An application can deny it request or pop-up with a dialog like "Save as..". For these cases see RSHUT's preferences "Emulate ENTER key press" and "Emulate RIGHT key press" in a loop that can help you either confirm these dialogs with ENTER or switching to the neighbors command (such as in the system dialog Wait-End-Cancel). /force - Forces processes to terminate. When this flag is set, the system does not send 'end session' messages. This can cause the applications to lose data. Therefore, you should only use this flag in an emergency. /forceif - Forces processes to terminate if they do not respond to the 'end session' message. This works in Windows 2000/XP only. /terminate - Terminate processes using internal system calls from RSHUT (except ones specified in list, see process termination options in RSHUT).
