My first thought is why on earth would anyone want to do that? The first question is can you select which OS to load from a program running on the remote box, and then reboot? Can you tell the boot loader on that box which OS to load next, or at least change the default OS? If possible (for example, you may need to change a file that is not accessible from all OSs on the box), it is likely to be different for each OS, at least the reboot part. Once/If you can do it on the box itself it is then simply a matter of remotely executing the appropriate program, depending upon which OS is currently loaded. My last thought is the same as my first one. :-) HTH ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The information contained in this e-mail is confidential and solely for the intended addressee(s).
