Hi Jonathan,
No, a system shutdown won't be explicitly recorded in the dbremote output / console log. dbremote entries typically look like this between dbremote runs (shut down / start-up):
I. 2014-04-24 16:41:06. Execution completed
I. 2014-04-24 16:41:09. SQL Remote Message Agent Version 16.0.0.1824
System Shutdowns / Start-ups are recorded in the "System" Event log on Microsoft Windows:
Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Event Viewer > System
Look for 'Kernel-General' entries:
===========================================
Log Name: System
Source: Microsoft-Windows-Kernel-General
Date: 23/4/2014 5:08:31 PM
Event ID: 13
Task Category: None
Level: Information
Keywords:
User: N/A
Computer: hostname
Description:
The operating system is shutting down at system time 2014-04-23T21:08:31.001823500Z.
