Run shutdown.exe in batch file while logged off doesn't work?

Hi folks,
I'm trying to use the shutdown.exe in a batch file to
reboot the computer at a predesignated time, but XP
doesn't want to shutdown if you're not logged on! Does
anyone know how to get XP to shutdown & reboot via batch
file without needing to be logged on??? Thanks.

Craig
