Computer Shut down from VFP

[Nro]

Hi

I want to know if it's possible to shut down a station from VFP. I did not search the Windows API but I want your opinion first.

The idea is to have a small VFP program to work as a service. There is a timer that is looking for a certain hour (12:00 for exemple), it start a procedure and when it's finish, it shut down the station. Everyting must be automated.

The station is a Windows 2000 Pro. I'm working with VFP 8.0

Thanks
