Shutting down a computer using Java
I am making a personal program that will shut down my computer after a certain amount of time or at a certain time/date. However, I am running multiple operating systems and want to do this with one simple Java program. Is there any way to send a system-independent machine shutdown request in Java without any using any external libraries? I know you can use java.awt.Desktop.getDesktop().browse(new URI("shutdown /s"));
in Windows, but, again, I want system independence.
@robjb gave me the best solution. Though it is a little too inflexible for my tastes, I will be suing it until I run into a problem.
String shutdownCommand;
StringPP operatingSystem = new StringPP(System.getProperty("os.name"));
if (operatingSystem.containsIgnoreCase("linux") ||
operatingSystem.containsIgnoreCase("mac") ||
operatingSystem.containsIgnoreCase("unix"))
{
shutdownCommand = "sudo shutdown -h -t 30";
}
else if (operatingSystem.containsIgnoreCase("windows"))
{
shutdownCommand = "shutdown /s /d P:0:0 /t 30 /c \"Blue Husky Timer 2 is shutting down your system, as you requested. \n"
+ "You have 30 seconds to save and close programs\"";
}
else
{
throw new UnsupportedOperationException("Unsupported operating system.");
}
try
{
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(shutdownCommand);
}
catch (Throwable t)
{
Main.LOG.logThrowable(t);
}
System.exit(0);
In the above example, StringPP
is a custom class that augments the capabilities of a String
with methods such as the above used #containsIgnoreCase
. Main.LOG
is a logging utility that I made and use.
