Can anyone tell me what the program shutdown.exe does (i.e. what functions does it perform). The program is on my diagnostics disk for my AT but I can find no documentation for it; nor can a dealer I asked. The dealer tied into IBM's database and could not find shutdown using a keyword search. The program seems to park the fixed disk head, lock the keyboard, and display a cute graphics that shows the power switch being turned off. Can anyone tell me just what functions the program is performing? I am not proficient enough to use debug to analyze the program. Any help would be appreciated. Pleae reply by uucp mail or the net -- I will summarize information and post.
