As far as I know there isn't. No need for alarm...

Shutdown.exe:

Note the endorsement from Jim (or at least the thanks) which means that if
it's accurate and the likes (and it appears to be) that it's 100% safe and
100% effective else Aumha wouldn't be associated with it.

You may try this shutdown.exe utility
http://www.budja.com/shutdown/

From that page:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Shutdown.exe is a simple command line utility that can:
Log Off the current user
Shutdown (Turn Off) the computer
Restart the computer
Hibernate the computer (note that hibernation has to be enabled!)
Put the computer into Stand By (Sleep)
--------------------------------------------------------------------
