In Reply to: Anyone know of a util to shut down a dos machine automagicly? posted by Dasme on 26, 2000 at 10:21 AM:
: Hey all,
: I've seen utils that will shutdown a Win9x box by making the proper winapi call. But I was wondering if there was anything out there that is similar for dos? I was thinking maybe someone might of made a utility to make the proper bios call when you have an ATX power supply and a motherboard with the proper energy saving features.
: Not entirely sure if this is possible though...
: Currently I have my box set to auto power-on with a keypress, and was hoping that a util for dos exists. Not having to press a power button would definitly be a good thing, as there would be one less thing to mount on my cabinet.

: Cab pics up soon!
Wouldn't you still have to turn off power to the monitor and speakers? Why not install a switch to kill all power coming into the cab?
