Auto shutdown

[dridzz]

Is there a way to auto shutdown the computer after finishing the encoding on the CLI ?

Well, that would depend on your OS. On linux,

Code: Select all

HandBrakeCLI <yadda> <yadda> <yadda> ; sudo shutdown -h now

should do the trick.

I believe that you can control this in the GUI. On Windows my computer will shutdown automatically using CLI. If you go into the GUI and click Tools, Options, there is a drop called 'When Done'. I use 'Quit Handbrake' and 'Shutdown' depending on my desited behaviour. The default option is 'Do Nothing' which for me was a problem originally as when CLI had completed, it would not return to the prompt. Upon hitting enter it would return to the prompt. From the testing I have done, after making this change in the GUI, CLI inherits this setting. Any other readers, please feel free to correct me if my statements are not accurate. Also, depending on your OS, there are many ways to shutdown from a script. Vista has the 'shutdown' command as do all flavors of UNIX/Linux.
