How can you shut down the computer with a c program?

Answer 1

just type these simple lines of code;

note that the code below shuts down the system on execution.

if you would like a user interactive menu then you can just create one

main(){

char y, ans;

printf(would you like to shutdown computer y/n);

scanf("%s", &ans)

;

if(ans == "y"){

system(shutdown -f);

}else{

exit(-1);

}

}

the variable ans is receiving our ans its being compared in the if statement.

hope this works thanks!!!
