Ok we are trying to set up a command in Windows NT4 Terminal server I have got the Resource kit downloaded
and I know I can in command prompts type in
shutdown/l/r to shut down and reboot the Tserver but I getr lost trying to setup the scheduler for everyday at lets say 9:30pm
Please help my boss is clueless
 
Can you not download WinAT, the GUI equivalent of AT? It's much more user friendly.

yeah after i sent this thread I noticed it was already setup
,So now I would love to know the command string the shutdown file is on the cdrive
 
is it not just shutdown.exe -s ?

or shutdown.exe -s -f if you need it to force shutdown?

you may need to put that command into a batch file, and schedule AT to run the batch file.
 
Hi,

I also like to use this facility. Pls advice me hot to setup this and where can I download "resource Kit"

Ur prompt reply will be highly appriciated.

Tks

Have a nice day !!!!!!!!!!!
 
Hi,

The syntax I am currently using is:

at 11:00PM c:\..path..\shutdown /r /c /l /y

to force the shutdown to the local machine without prompting you for several days.
Beware to the hours set-up; on some system you may use 23:99 instead.

Ciao,
Robert
