what's the DOS command to reboot?

[NotoriousJTC]

i almost never use DOS... and haven't had to since my old days on the p200...

What's the DOS command to reboot the pc?

 

[chiwawa626]

wow..theres a command? now thats fancy..all i did was press altctrldel

 

[Mucman]

<CTRL>-<ALT>-<DEL>

 

[yakko]

CTRL+ALT+DEL

 

[kpxgq]

deltree c:\

 

[Bozz]

C:\>dir >clock$

seems to do the trick every time

 

[silverpig]

Hmm, I know the linux command is shutdown -r

 

[Moonbeam]

Did you try the reset button?

 

[NotoriousJTC]

see this is why i come to you guys..... ctrl-alt-del should be it then...... i thought there was a quick command i could enter to reboot, guess not.

 

[notfred]

Ctrl+Alt+Del is correct. That or RESET

There is no DOS reboot or shutdown command. Never has been.

There's no need for one, as if you're at a DOS prompt, there are no programs waiting to save data. Even smartdrv flushes it's cache before the system shows a DOS prompt, so it's not an issue. Just press CTRL+ALT+DEL to reboot.

there is a program (used to be) for norton command (you can replace the norton command.com with the ms command.com) which had the reboot line.

wouldnt typing in C:\con\con work? Granted, it's not so much a restart as it is a crash, but nevertheless......
btw, why the hell were you running DOS on a p200?!

 

[GoSharks]

what could be faster than a CAD? you have to reach fro a reset button

There is a zipfile here called 'batchman' - it has files called 'warmboot' and 'coldboot' - I'd be curious as to if and how these programs reboot your computer, although I'm not smart enough.

You can always just look here.

Actually it's "shutdown -r now". That reboots the comp immediately.
