Description
~~~~~~~~~~~

Quick ShutDown (QSD) - fast and easy-to-use shutdown tool that allows you to shutdown, 
reboot, hibernate, logoff, standby or lock your computer with the one mouse click.
When QSD is running, an accurate miniature icon appears on the taskbar on the end
opposite the "Start" button. You can choose to click or double click it with the 
left mouse button, and it shutdowns or reboots your computer. You can set a 
keyboard shortcut for any action - shutdown, reboot, hibernate, standby, lock, 
logoff and media eject. Quick ShutDown allows you to set your own tray icon to be displayed. 
Click it with the right mouse button to view the context menu. Also, QSD can 
automatically terminate applications if they are not responding making shutdowns 
both quicker and safer. In addition, Quick ShutDown can eject removable media 
drives at shutdown preventing you from losing your disks and CDs by leaving them 
in the drive when you leave.


It is possible to use Quick Shutdown from the command-line.

Usage: qsd.exe [-f] [-s] [-r] [-l] [-h] [-d] [-k] [-e:x:]

 -r

 -l
