I came up writing COBOL back in the 80's and 90's. And while I realize its been all the fashion to bash COBOL, worldwide there are still hundreds of millions of lines of COBOL code that have been running (and continue to run) without incident for 30+ years. That is a feat which I don't see any of the "modern" languages being able to duplicate. Don't get me wrong, I don't think I could go back to COBOL unless I absolutely had to - particularly since I started coding in both VB.NET and C# some years ago. But all of the old COBOL folks are starting to retire in droves there aren't many people left who can maintain those systems. That's probably one of the reasons for the high salary for an entry-level position.

Shutdown a PCI use a desktop icon that could easily be used as "process.start(shutdown.exe -s -t 00)" Shutdown: %windir%\System32\shutdown.exe -s -t 00 Restart: %windir%\System32\shutdown.exe -r -t 00 Logoff: %windir%\System32\shutdown.exe -l -t 00 Hope this helps!
