The command line params are on the web page. Try creating a shortcut with a
"Target" of;

C:\FullPathToFile\psshutdown -r

No you don't. You don't even need to logon to the machine.

wait a minute then how do i get the program to run and a do a scheduled
restart? that makes no sense

 

[Dave Patrick]

It probably makes no sense because you didn't read the instructions. Take a
look at the web page. It has all of the possible options.

remotely;
C:\FullPathToFile\psshutdown.exe \\somecomputer -r

or locally;
C:\FullPathToFile\psshutdown.exe -r

(the account you run this with will need to be part of the local admin
group)
