Overview
This simple program utilizes command lines along with the System Exec function to allow the user to shut down, restart, log off and access the shutdown options windows dialog.

 


Description
User event based programming with an event case for each of the buttons on the front panel. In each case the System Exec function is used to send a system command to the command line application. This tool could be usefully integrated into VIs where the user does not get access to windows or integrate to programmatically shutdown our LabVIEW application upon completion.

Steps to Implement or Execute Code

  1. Download the attached VI to your computer
