Can anyone recommend a software application that will allow to schedule a server to reboot at a specific time?
The cheaper the better, i.e free
Thanks
open notepad and copy this line into it:
shutdown -r -c "Server Restart: Please Wait"
File>save as> change drop down from .txt to all files. save as shutdown.bat
test the file by running it. it should restart the computer after 30 seconds.
If successful, add to the task scheduler via the accessories panel in the start menu![]()
If you have the NT4 or Windows 2000 Resource Kits then they include shutdown.exe which you can use with the task scheduler to reboot the machine. It's also included with XP and I think 2003 Server.
As above really, but just wanted to mention the PSTools kit from Sysinternals - freeware tools that can help you manage stuff like this very easily. PSShutdown is a cracking tool that I use a hell of a lot, and there's even a GUI out there for it (well, the full suite) now.
