Prerequisite: Switch-case in C/C++

Problem Statement:
Write a menu-driven program to control your system such as shutdown, restart, log off, manual shutdown settings, abort the shutdown, and exit, using Switch-case.

Approach: The idea is to use system() in C. This function is used to invoke operating system commands from the C++ program
In this program to use some system commands listed below:

  1. Shutdown: To shutdown system, use system() function and command shutdown with option s as:
    system("C:\\WINDOWS\\System32\\shutdown/s")
  2. Restart: To restart system, use system() function and command shutdown with option r as:
    system("C:\\WINDOWS\\System32\\shutdown/r")
  3. Log off: To logoff system, use system() function and command shutdown with option l as:
    system("C:\\WINDOWS\\System32\\shutdown/l")
  4. Manual Shutdown: To manual shutdown system, use system() function and command shutdown with option i as:
    system("C:\\WINDOWS\\System32\\shutdown/i")
  5. Abort the Shutdown: To abort the shutdown system, use system() function and command shutdown with option a as:
    system("C:\\WINDOWS\\System32\\shutdown/a")

Below implementation of the above system function and commands:

// system control using system()
// function and command with option

// Function to take user choices and perform
// the appropriate operation
void selectMenu()

    int choice;
    printf("\n Enter your choice : ");
    scanf("%d", &choice);
  
    switch (choice) {

    case 4:

        break;
  
    case 5:
        abortShutdown();
        break;
  
    case 6:
  
        printf("\n Exiting... \n\n");
        printf("Exiting in 3 seconds...\n");
        Sleep(3000);
        exit(1);
  
    default:
        printf("\ninvalid choice Try again \n");
        printMenu();
    }
}
  
// Function to print all the menus
void printMenu()
{
    // Set output color to blue
    // background and white foreground
    system("color 1F");
    printf("\n");
  
    // Create Menu
    printf("\xB2 \xB2\xB2\xB2\xB2\xB2\xB2\xB2"
           "\xB2\xB2\xB2\xB2\xB2\xB2\xB2\xB2\xB2\xB2"

           "_________________________________");
    printf("\n|\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t|");
    printf("\n|\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t|");

    printf("\n|\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t|");
    printf("\n\xB2_________________________________"
           "______________________________\xB2\n");
  
    // Function call for select options
    selectMenu();
}
  
// Driver Code
int main()
{
    // Function Call
    printMenu();
    return 0;
}
