Re: Execute command at shutdown

Hi,

Is it possible, using some cygwin functionality, to tell Windows to execute a command at shutdown? For instance, I would like to have:

ipconfig.exe /release

executed everytime I shutdown Windows, since I need that to avoid problems with my cable provider when using dual-boot. How can I do that?


As an alternative to Igor's suggestions, if you're willing interject a
different shutdown scheme into your process, you can always create an
alias or a script that does the above and then calls Cygwin's 'shutdown'
in the flavor of your choice to do what you're looking for.  'shutdown'
is available in it's own Cygwin package.
