Scripting Question

[ITR]

I need a way to have a script reboot a few times while its running.

For example, run lines 1-10, reboot, run lines 11-20, reboot, etc, etc.

I'm guessing I could have it write to a text file before each reboot, and have the script check the text file on startup for where it needs to start(line 1 or line 11).

Any advise/guidence/help?

How about this: write the script with command line parameters, so that if you call "script.wsf" it runs lines 1-10, if you call "script.wsf /2" it runs lines 11-20, "script.wsf /3" runs lines 21-30, etc. Then, the last thing your script does in each section, before rebooting, is to write a value to the registry in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce that will call the script again after the next logon with the next command parameter in the sequence. In other words, assuming line 10 is the reboot command, line 9 would write "script.wsf /2" into that key.

For more information on the RunOnce key and its relatives, see this TechNet article:
