Restart Server by command line

[chongtl]

Can anyone help?

I need to restart my server every sunday. But I will skip if the Sunday is month end. I want to use the scheduler to run a batch file. I don't know the command.

Anyone know the command to retsart server and command to check the day is Sunday as well as Month end?

Thanks

shutdown.exe is a Microsoft tool in the NT4 Resource Kit, which will allow you to shut down (and/or reboot) machines remotely (if you have the correct permissions to do so).

You won't need to check if the day is a Sunday; just set up the AT command to run /every:Sunday.

As for checking to see if it's months end, that will be a little more difficult, and off the top of my head I can't think of a smart way of doing it. MCSE NT4/W2K

May I ask why do you need to restart the server?

Well , you may wright a script that checks the date ,
by getting the info from the system :
if it includes string "30" or "31" ( end of month )
then not to run anything , else , run the shutdown.exe
( all that checking is at the task scheduler , in order to run it only on sundays )
good luck
