The output below explains the options available for the shutdown command.

C:\>shutdown /?
Usage: SHUTDOWN [machine] [/M:message] [/D:delay] [/Force] [/Reboot] [/Cancel]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
           where:  machine is the network name of the computer to shutdown
                   message is displayed in the shutdown dialog
                   delay is the amount of time to wait before shutting down

                   /Force  Forcibly closes all applications
                   /Reboot Restarts the machine immediately after shutdown
                   /Cancel Cancels an existing shutdown order

In the following example, the shutdown command is going to shut down and reboot a machine called "geociscolgra".
