jason.b.c Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 well first of all , why are you trying to schedule "shutdown.exe" to "reboot" your servers....?i can't quite remember what it is called now ( not a windoze person anymore ) , but , i think ya need to try "reboot" -or- "restart.exe"but it kinda begs the question , if you knew how to set these servers then how do you not know how to send remote commands to them....?

Scarecrow Man Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 You can use task scheduler.The command is:shutdown -r -t 30This will reboot the server regardless of what is running. Use the task scheduler to have it run at specific intervals.
