Here is an example that I use:

shutdown -r /t 5 /d u:0:0 /c "Blah Blah Process is running slow" /m \\MyServer

The /c allows you to specify comment

and /d allows you to give the reason

    /d [p|u:]xx:yy  Provide the reason for the restart or shutdown.
               p indicates that the restart or shutdown is planned.
               u indicates that the reason is user defined.
               If neither p nor u is specified the restart or shutdown is
               unplanned.
               xx is the major reason number (positive integer less than 256).
               yy is the minor reason number (positive integer less than 65536).

Reasons on this computer:
(E = Expected U = Unexpected P = planned, C = customer defined)
Type    Major   Minor   Title
