Proper Approach for Invoking Tasks on a server

Question

I'm writing a C# application to automate a couple of common server admin tasks, and one of the tasks that I want to automate is shutting down or restarting the server (because a number of other applications have to be stopped in a certain order, and its a pain to do).

What the best way to invoke tasks on a server? What is the SAFE approach to server and service shutdown?

There's a similar post. Try that --> http://stackoverflow.com/questions/102567/how-to-shutdown-the-computer-from-c-sharp Good luck! :) — ExceptionGuy, Mar 09 '13 at 15:26

Use shutdown.exe of Windows.

using System.Diagnostics;

Process.Start("shutdown","-s -t 10");
