If you have installed the EXCELLENT Cygwin Tools (cygwin.com), you get not just a reboot command, but also a nearly complete GNU shell on Windows. Note that there are small issues using Cygwin on a non-NT Windows box (but plenty of people use it on Win9x). Installing Cygwin just to get a reboot command would be overkill. But Cygwin is fantastic for BASH scripting on Windows, and it's easy to write cross-platform scripts if you want that also. A simple reboot command is available here: http://www.itechs-systems.com/pages/software.htm I've never personally tested either reboot command. Windows reboots on me often enough, thank you. ;-) -Scott -----Original Message----- From: kgleason at ma.ultranet.com [mailto:kgleason at ma.ultranet.com] Sent: Friday, June 07, 2002 11:32 AM To: discuss at blu.org Subject: Windows Question... Sorry to bother you but have a question about Windows that MS doesn't seem to make available to the rest of us. Does anyone know of a DOS prompt command that either reboots or shutsdown Windows 98 SE? More specifically, I want to powerdown one of my computers without using the keyboard and/or mouse but when program is done executing. Conversely, is there a command sequence that would allow me to create a macro to replicate pressing Start, Shutdown, Shutdown? Thanks for your thoughts on this matter!
