Thanks for the reply.
I am using Windows Xp and trying this for first time. I am not aware if this will work or not. I googled and found that this command suits my need.
I am trying this on Solaris box. Purpose of this command is to shutdown a server.

Yes it seems links is not set in $PATH. Can I use lynx instead of links. Or is there any other way to execute this command. Thanks.
