Adding Reboot to a Scheduled Task on Win 2K

Postby jramsay » Tue 23 Dec, 2003 2:29 pm

Hi folks,
Wonder if anyone can help me? I have a scheduled task set to run after a certain idle time. Seems that after this scheduled task has run, my computer fails to show up on our local network, and has to be rebooted. So I'd like to add a reboot command to my scheduled task.

Does anyone have any idea how I can do this?

Thanks a lot in advance,
Jill

Don't know how good your at this, but the command line option is:
shutdown -r

You could always make this happen a msdos .bat file.

Hello Jill,

But how do you auto login?

If you store your users password (or don't have one) then Win2k by default logs in automatically.

Why do I need to login? I leave my machine logged in but locked with a screensaver. The scheduled task runs after a certain idle time. I don't mind if I am logged out when I come back to it, shouldn't stop me from being visible on the network... unless I'm missing something?
