SHUTDOWN (Turn off Computer)

SHUTDOWN offers control over your system's shutdown process. You can restart, shut down, or even
plan shutdowns through the command line.
 Syntax: shutdown [/i | /l | /s | /sg | /r | /g | /a | /p | /h | /e | /o] [/hybrid] [/fw] [/f] [/m \
computer][/t xxx][/d [p|u:]xx:yy [/c "comment"]]
 Example: shutdown /I -> Open a graphical interface to shutdown computer
shutdown /i

SYSTEMINFO (System Information)


SYSTEMINFO provides a wealth of system-related information, including details about your operating
system, network, and hardware.
 Syntax: systeminfo [/s <computer> [/u <domain><username> [/p <password>]]] [/fo {TABLE |
LIST | CSV}] [/nh]
 Example: C:\Users\systeminfo

IPCONFIG (IP Configuration)


Purpose: Displays detailed network configuration information, including IP address, subnet mask,
default gateway, and more.
 Syntax: ipconfig [/all] [/renew [<adapter>]] [/release [<adapter>]] [/flushdns] [/displaydns]
[/registerdns] [/showclassid <adapter>] [/setclassid <adapter> [<classID>]]
ipconfig
NETSTAT (Network Statistics)
Purpose: Provides a snapshot of active network connections and protocol statistics, aiding in
monitoring network performance and identifying issues.
 Syntax: netstat [-a] [-b] [-e] [-n] [-o] [-p <Protocol>] [-r] [-s] [<interval>]
netstat
TRACERT (Trace Route)
Purpose: Traces the route that packets take to reach a destination, displaying hop-by-hop information
and helping pinpoint network latency or failures.
Syntax: tracert [/d] [/h <maximumhops>] [/j <hostlist>] [/w <timeout>] [/R] [/S <srcaddr>] [/4] [/6]
<targetname>

PING (Send Test Packets)


Purpose: Sends ICMP echo requests to a target host, checking network connectivity and measuring
response times.

TASKLIST (List Processes)


TASKLIST displays a list of currently running processes, similar to the information available in Task
Manager but accessible via CMD.

Syntax: TASKLIST [/S system] [/U username] [/P password] [/M [module]] [/SVC] [/V] [/FI filter] [/FO

status, +H makes the file hidden, etc.
