shutdown: Specify a timeout in seconds to wait before shutting down.

shutdown

$ shutdown /s /t ${8}

This command is used to shut down a Windows operating system. Here is the breakdown of the command:

shutdown is the command itself.
/s is an option that tells the command to perform a shutdown. It stands for "shutdown."
/t is another option that specifies the time delay before the shutdown occurs. The next part of the command ${8} is the value for the time delay. It is a placeholder, and the actual value should be provided instead. This value is in seconds, so the shutdown in this case will occur after the specified delay of 8 seconds.

Overall, this command instructs Windows to initiate a shutdown of the system with a specific time delay.
