Shutdown the PC from FactoryTalk viwe SE Client

Is it possible to shut down a PC from within a Factorytalk Viwe SE Client?

The operators at one site want to be able to shut down the PC each night, but with out having to log in as engineer to stop the project ect They suggest just 1 button on the screen somewhere that would stop the project, shut down RSview then shutdown the PC.

It possible (im sure it is with batch files for something, i just need a poke in the right direction)

When you say PC, you mean Personal Computer (versus Programmable Controller)?

Investigate the "shutdown" command which can be placed in a batch file.

It's interesting that this is almost precisely the same question as was asked last summer, down to the final phrase:

FactoryTalk View SE and RSView32 both support the AppStart command, so the solution should be the same.

I was gunna say, thats exactly the same question that i asked almost like a copy pasta.

I actually gave up with that project however, as they (the operators) decided they need over night trending data, thus the PC stays on.

I wonder if he chose to copy and paste your text because he thought it was better than a machine translation?

That is a thoughtful and considerate idea, Paul. No wonder it didn't occur to me.
