Shutting down mysql from command line [Windows][DOS]

Question

I want to shutdown mysql server from command line.

If I use taskkill.exe or forcefully, it stops the mysql server but when I start mysql again. It shows

2013-08-31 16:00:35 3940 [Note] InnoDB: Database was not shutdown normally!

Recovery actually takes time to start the server. And also sometimes it gets failed to start, if the database is extremely large.

So I want to shutdown normally like:

mysqladmin -u root -pmysql shutdown

Above command works but MySQL Root Password may change so I want a similar command of Mac OS X below for Windows:

mysqladmin -u root -p$(cat /path/to/mysql/root/password) shutdown

Basically I want to read the password from file. Is it possible in DOS ?

Any help ? Thanks.

Solved.

Here is the command

for /f "tokens=*" %f in ('type path\to\mysql\root\password.txt') do @(mysqladmin -u root -p%f shutdown)
