Windows 2000 and the reboot command

[MrSharky]

I'm looking for a way to reboot windows 2000 from a batch file. I thought there was a way to do this in win95/98/98se but wasn't sure about 2000 Pro and XP?? Anyone know of any such trick???

Can't you just run a batch file with the line

reboot

in it? I think I read that recently.

I've tried that.. and it seems to be a unrecongnized commmand... I thought there would have been that too....

'REBOOT' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Create a text file called restart.vbs

Put the following as the contents of the file:

set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.SendKeys "^{ESC}ur{ENTER}"

Save the file and place it on the desktop or in the Quicklaunch or whatever. It will restart Win2K when you double click it.

Using the built-in command shutdown.exe would be much easier. (It may be a reskit utility under W2K. Not sure.)

It is part of the RK.
