1.	Solve : Reboot with a batch file at a certain time given?
Answer» Hy everybody, I want to make a batch file that will reboot the computer when it arrives at a certain date given for example 31/03/2005. When you start the computer in this morning it will reboot over and over again. ThanksSounds a little harsh to me, almost virus like.Normally I would respond with a little code snippet, throw in my usual commercial for WinScript, and then follow up with other questions that might arise. But your request, as best I can see, has absolutely no socially redeeming qualities, is malicious, and does nothing to advance the general knowledge of the casual computer user. Therefore, I respectfully refuse to provide you with the answer to your request. In the words of the Code Nazi: No Snippet For You! In the forums I moderate, this post would be HISTORY. If the user posted any more like it, he'd be history too. although i have seen a program that refuse access to a computer, one of my mates, his dad put it on his computer to make him go to bed, like only give him access to the computer during resonable hours of the day 9am to 10 pm or somthing. which isnt virus or malicious, as it does what it spose to. lolQuote Hy everybody, I want to make a batch file that will reboot the computer when it arrives at a certain date given for example 31/03/2005.

I would like to shutdown all the PCs on my network each night. I work in a school and MANY users leave their computers on and open gradebooks and print shop items always cause exceptions on the backup. I can see that you could see malicious intent here. I guess I'll look around more...Innocent Hacker, Actually, you could put the shutdown command in a script or batch file and then schedule the file (thru the Windows Scheduler) to run at a certain time each evening. Type help shutdown for the switches to use. I do this weekly on my machines after the backup has completed...they run late at nite.
