Ok so, i thought I knew by heart how to set a shutdown timer on my pc. I typed :

shutdown s/ t/3600

Obviously I didnt enter the right command. Not sure what i did.
I just got a bunch of text .. Anybody know what i might have done?

Shutdown command does exactly as it sounds, sends a command to shutdown your PC.

You wrote it wrong, as it should be something like shutdown -s -t *time* so it won't do a thing in your PC.

Those messages appearing on the console are probably telling you how to write the command, don't worry.
