How do I schedule a reboot of the server

[Sean]

Is there any way that a schedule can be setup to automatically reboot
the server after hours? I need to run diskcheck and it will take an
hour or so so it needs to be done after hours.

This question is asked too often. Search in the news messages for
alternatives.
use the Resource kit's shutdown command in a batch file and schedule it as a
task.

_____ ServerReboot.cmd ____________ (created in notepad)

shutdown /L /R /Y /C
_________________________________

scheduled with:
at 23:00 "c:\ServerReboot.cmd "
