Rebooting PC on a schedule
Posted: Tue 13 Nov 2012 6:49 am
I am running Cumulus and a website using IIS on an old laptop running XP. Works a treat but.......
The laptop needs a reboot frequently so I am scheduling it automatically each night.
My problem:
When the laptop reboots using restart.exe (using scheduled tasks) cumulus does not appear to shut down nicely. (I do not get the cumulus is shutting down message)
I have looked at using taskkill.exe but it still seems to shutdown cumulus without doing that nice shutdown.
Is anyone aware of a nice way of shutting down cumulus via a command line so I am to schedule this using a batch file.
Thanks in anticipation
