[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: shutdown-1.6-1

[Corinna Vinschen <corinna-cygwin at cygwin dot com>]

I've just updated the version of shutdown to 1.6-1.

This version is a plain bugfix release which also adds a couple of
additional error messages to allow easier tracking down problems.

However, here's the release message for 1.5-1 again, for the people
who love to view replays:

On Windows NT systems, shutdown now uses InitiateSystemShutdown to start
system shutdowns and reboots.  This function has several advantages.
It allows to specify a time until shutdown, it opens a dialog in each
user's session that a shutdown is in progress, it adds an entry to the
event log and last but not least, unless you specified a too short time
period, it allows to abort the shutdown by calling the AbortSystemShutdown
function.

Consequentially, this version of shutdown adds a new option:

  $ shutdown --abort (or just -a)

which (on NT only) allows to abort a shutdown in progress.  This, too,
opens a dialog window in each user's session to inform the users that
the shutdown has been aborted.

Other than that, `shutdown --help' gives you all information you need.


To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on
the http://cygwin.com/ web page.  This downloads setup.exe to your
system.  Then, run setup and answer all of the questions.
