AbortShutdown Documentation

This is an abridged version of the product documentation

Usage

There is very little to the usage of AbortShutdown.

When run, AbortShutdown appears as an unobtrusive tray icon.

When a remote shutdown request is issued against your computer, a system dialog pops up to inform you

When you see this dialog, you simply double-click on the AbortShutdown tray icon and, provided you have sufficient privileges, the shutdown is aborted.

The result of the abort attempt is shown as a tray icon balloon which appears from the icon.

A successful abort will result in the screenshot shown above.

An unsuccessful abort will result in an error message that attempts to explain what went wrong. Possible reasons include insufficient privileges or there not being a pending shutdown.

Right-clicking on the icon will raise a small menu which allows you abort a shutdown (same as double-clicking), raise the About box or exit the app.
