Frank,

I would be unhappy with this proposed change.   The Windows
"shutdown.exe" uses:

 'h' for hibernate
 'l' for logoff
 's' for shutdown and halt
 'r' for shutdown and restart
 'g' for shutdown and restart including registered applications

 'a' for abort shutdown

with the following modifiers:

 'f' for force
 'p' for 'no warning
 'e' document the reason
 'i' display GUI
 'm' specify target computer
 't' specify timeout
 'c' specify comment
 'd' shutdown reason code

I believe it is very important that the Cygwin shutdown not alter the
meaning of command line parameters such that they are different from the
Windows native version.   The various options are already too confusing
to remember.  Typing the right option value into wrong shell should not
result in the wrong behavior if we can help it.

Thank you.

Jeffrey Altman
