A. The Windows NT 4.0 Resource Kit Supplement 2 ships with theutility LOGOFF.EXE and this can be used to logoff from the command line.

The syntax is

C:> logoff [/f] [/n]

Where the option /f means running processes will be closed without asking tosave unsaved data but will ask for confirmation. /n will logoff withoutconfirmation but will ask to save unsaved data.

Using both together will result in no confirmation and all unsaved databeing lost.
