computer restart help
any know a way i can have my computer restart everyday at the same time? i know that i can put a program into task scheduler and have it restart my comp but i don't have a program like that. then some kid tried to help me and he said to check my BIO's at the start-up or something like that. i have no idea what to do or what to look for. any help?

anyone else ever have the joy of shutting down Win2k workstations remotely? hehehe
open a command prompt, and type this in, then hit enter.
at 04:00 /every:M,T,W,Th,F shutdown -r -f -t 60
btw, this will restart your computer at 4am every weeknight, with a 60 second warning.
alright will this work on Win98? and by command do you mean Start>Run?
no, this will work on windows XP, 2000 or NT, but I don't think it will work on 98...
I think even for winNT systems this is an additional support resource not installed with base install, haven't seen it on XP, win2k, or win2k Adv Server
i tested it on XP, and it seemed like all the commands were there. i haven't installed any extras like that
hm, maybe it's cause i have cygwin installed.. maybe it's picking up the "at" command from that
hmm
which at
/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32/at
which shutdown
/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32/shutdown
So yeah, winXP has shutdown, didn't know that! I reboot my system everday afterwork manually anyway
Win2k doesn't though, I'm currently having this situation here at work because I need to sceduale a restart one time when im not here
