Hi everone,

Im not good with programming, I know little bit about AutoIT, batches...and how to make installers with WinRAR.

Heres my problem...our server (which is running on Windows 2003) needs to reboot on every monday at 6.00 am.

Can someone make an AutoIT script for me? (or other methods are also welcome)

Otherwise I have to wake up early ... that $%^&*) monday (also a reason why i hate mondays).

forzA,

use the built in windows scheduler service to run the shutdown.exe command.

Thanks for the info!

you mean like shutdown.exe -r -t 604800

And at startup: shutdown.cmd

But theres an annoying windows with the counter

No, just

shutdown.exe -r

, and set it to run at 6:00 on Mondays.

(the use of NET STOP could mean very fast shutdown time)
