Use perl to logout

[Stevoie]

Is it possible to get a perl program to logout a user in win2000? eg user presses a button in a perl tk window and windows logs them out.

thanx

I don't know about Windows 2000, but in Windows 9x there are batch files in the windows directory to shutdown and reboot, so I'm guessing that there is one to log out in Windows 2000. //Daniel

i was hoping someone would know what dll's are involved or maybe someone has already written something like what I need to do.

If you want to do it the hard way, you are using the wrong language ;-), because Perl can't use functions defined in DLLs. //Daniel

I haven't tried it with NT or 2000 but I used the following command on a Win 95 computer.

RUNDLL32 USER,EXITWINDOWS


It might work, or you can look on MS website for help.

found it:


$exitWndwEx = new Win32::API('user32', 'ExitWindowsEx', [N,N], N) or die print "User api failed: $!";
if(not defined $exitWndwEx )
{
die "Can't import API User: $!\n";
}
$exitWndwEx ->Call(0,0) or die print "Logout Call failed: $!";
