Using tsshutdn command

[pcfixr]

I would like to setup a script that shuts down and restarts my Citrix server everynight at say 4:00am.
does anyone have a good sample script that will do this?

Also where should the script be placed so that it works.

I also need to be sure that everything restarts automaticly as believe it or not there are actually a 1 or 2 people who get to the office before me.

Thanks
Greg

Can't you just use TSShutdn.exe in a scheduled task

C:\WINNT\system32\tsshutdn.exe 120 /reboot

Works like a champ for me. Thew 120 will wait 2 minutes after sending all the users a message to get off before restarting.

Create a cmd file called "AutoReboot.Cmd" and save it in ?:\Winnt

Add the following Two Lines :-

at 04:00 ?:\Winnt\System32\TSSHUTDN.exe /DELAY:120 /REBOOT
at 04:30 ?:\Winnt\Autoreboot.Cmd

Then run the cmd file and it will now reboot each day.

If you want to do it once, but if you reboot, you'll need to re enter it then do :-

at 04:00 /Every:M,T,W,Th,F,S,Su ?:\Winnt\System32\TSSHUTDN.exe /DELAY:120 /REBOOT

If you need any further help do "AT /?"

Cheers,
Carl.
