RE: reboot, anyone?

["Caruso, Anthony J., 38 EIG/EINS" <Anthony dot Caruso at mailgate dot eiw38 dot af dot mil>]

Arlindo,
There is a shutdown command that comes w/ the resource kit.
shutdown \\remotemachine /r /t:05 /y

/r - reboot
/t:05 - in 5 seconds
/y - yes I REALLY mean SHUTDOWN!!!

If you don't have access to the resource kit, you can write a down & dirty
shutdown using InitiateSystemShutdown.  The URL
http://premium.microsoft.com/msdn/library/sdkdoc/shutdown_0h88.htm shows an
example of this.  (If you don't want to register w/ microsoft, here's the
prototype

// Following from microsoft's site:
fResult = InitiateSystemShutdown( 
    NULL,                                  // shut down local computer 
    "Click on the main window and press \
     the Escape key to cancel shutdown.",  // message to user 
    20,                                    // time-out period 
    FALSE,                                 // ask user to close apps 
    TRUE);                                 // reboot after shutdown 
 
if (!fResult) 
{ 
    ErrorHandler("InitiateSystemShutdown failed."); 
}

Hope this helps.
(Wow - I could actually answer a question on this group! (hope I'm right :-)
BTW, since I'm here - thanks to all for the hard work & great patches &
info.)
