Yes, I know, I have actually done a reboot.bat, that first stops all
important services using the "net stop service" command and then I execute
the Shutdown.exe.

Unfortunatelly shutdown doesn't work always as it shoulds.
My server is now hanging since 8 hours, noone of the italian hosting company
is available (imagine: the company is quoted at the italian stocks market).
Most services are stopped and not responding anymore - but some still are
alive.
I have also installed the Web Administration Kit for NT from MS, that allows
to reboot the server using a html-form, but with that sometimes I have the
same problem.
The tool I am looking for just waits on port xxxx for an incoming
connection. When telnetting to it it asks a username/password, if that is
correct the server is software-resetted.... this would be the tool I need.
I will look out and let you know when I found it.
Thanks anyway.
