shutdown using keyboard

[yogisworld]

Is there any method to set shutdown using keyboard.i mean key combinations when my monitor is off.

[prasad_den]

The routine I suppose -- Alt F4 followed by right arrow key and then Enter key.

[Kl@w-24]

Win+D -----------> Make sure desktop is selected
Alt+F4 -----------> Close explorer session
U -----------> Accelerator key for 'Turn off'

[dheeraj_kumar]

First you may want to do a windows key+m or windows key + d

But you can always use macro software, to set a key combination for shutting down the computer. for example, press control+shift+f12 or something like that to shut down. You can use AutoHotKey or AutoIt for free macro software. And please read the documentation for using them.

3 button press and done...

Oh thats right good work, praveen

[casanova]

The simplest way is using the power button on keyboard (if present)

[nitish_mythology]

Can some one post the same for Linux(Ubuntu 8)?

[yogisworld]

Thanks Everybody

[xbonez]

best method is just press the power button on the cabby...in case of ATX systems, proper shut down will get initiated

[Krazy_About_Technology]

^for ubuntu i think, ALT+f2 -> poweroff -> Enter will work.

for windows methods told by both abh1shek and xbonez will do.

[madhusoodan]

alt+F4+u=shut down

[dheeraj_kumar]

^^ you might want to press windows+M or windows+D before that...

^ haha .. PJ .. not taken man.. thats absurd

and

folks what is the shortcut for the hibernate .. !!

i just use the one single push to power button and my system hibernates in secs .. quick. I dont shutdown, unless i install something new.

[dhanusaud]

win+u+u = shutdown (@parveen)
win+u+r = restart
wind+u+l = log off

haha .. you are funny ... didnt ya read my post ... i use hibernate instead of shutdown.. so enable to hua na bhai and my point was that that shortcut is not working.

but still I think the best is to just press the power button. one push so simple.. it cant be better than that.
