I need to find either a free app or shcedule Windows 2000 Server to
automatically restart every night for maintnence purposes. Does anyone know
of a way to do this?

I find psshutdown, part of PSTools from www.sysinternals.com, is a great
utility (and it's freeware).

I'm perplexed as to why you think it's necessary to reboot every night,
though.

Oh, and investigate the "at" command to schedule it.

As am I! It's my crazy Canadian boss' idea. I just follow orders. Thanks
for the tool. I'll take a look at it and report back if I have any other
questions.
