Can Comodo Backup V1.X shut my PC down after it has finished a backup job?
Yes, with an “if”, no with a “but”.
Comodo Backup V1.X has no direct means of shutting a PC down after a backup job has finished, but it does have the function of running an application after the job has completed. If you are running Windows XP, there is a little known application called SHUTDOWN.EXE which will, funnily enough, shut the PC down, if invoked with the “-s” parameter.
To use this function, double click on a backup job and then click on the EXTERNAL TASK tab. Select “To run after end of backup” and enter (without the quotes)
“\windows\system32\shutdown -s”
If you are using Comodo Backup V1.X to backup a remote PC across a LAN, you can shut down the remote PC using the same method, but invoking shutdown with the following parameters
" shutdown -s -m //computername"
Please note, these instructions apply to the English language version of Windows. The location and name of the shutdown utility may vary in other language versions.
