andguent Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 (edited) I have a larger complicated script which is supposed to do multiple things to the computer (XPPro) and then force the computer to reboot. It does 99% of the work, but never reboots. I made a one line AutoIt Script that does this and only this: Shutdown(6) I then compiled it, and set it as a scheduled task (sched task is running as admin). It still will not reboot the computer. Other scheduled tasks work fine while logged out. Am I doing something wrong? I have everything except this one little thing working. Any and all ideas appreciated. Thanks. --Edit-- Oh, and the compiled shutdown script works fine if I double click on it while logged in. Edited March 8, 2005 by andguent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andguent Posted March 9, 2005 Author Share Posted March 9, 2005 The built in C:\Windows\System32\shutdown.exe did the trick for me. It is short on features (and ability for user to cancel) but it works. I just hoped that AutoIt's built in function would do what I wanted. Thanks for the great info slug. The beyondlogic site looks impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
