I use a batch file and PSSHUTDOWN.EXE to so a "reboot in 1 minute" (I also use this .BAT to reboot an XP desktop I'm RDP'd to...)

2k reskit has "soon" ... http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=ca8191e6-9eef-4975-b51c-8d670748ca8e&displaylang=en&Hash=y9NCNQ5D5sTI41Afg3BRuQu6fHl7NZtSiA6mxlRloCaECOMKkz5t5E7gkX4OYzSTLvbkQg4jEVLa5JYFdDIHoA%3d%3d (ugh what a url... or just google: soon site:microsoft.com ) ----------------------------------- SOON : Command Scheduling Utility ----------------------------------- Usage : SOON [\\computername] [delay] [/INTERACTIVE] "command" or : SOON /D [/L:n] [/R:n] [/I:{ON|OFF}] delay : the number of seconds from now when the scheduled job should start. /D : modify Default settings and/or display their current values. /L : set LocalDelay - default delay for Local jobs - initially 5 seconds. /R : set RemoteDelay - default delay for Remote jobs - initially 15 seconds. /I : set InteractiveAlways option - initially OFF. SOON schedules a job to run in the near future, a number of seconds from now. SOON closely resembles the AT command because SOON simply runs a suitable AT command. For a details of the other arguments run "AT /?" without the quotes. Examples : SOON CMD /C C:\JOBS\BATCH.CMD SOON 10 CMD /C C:\JOBS\BATCH.CMD SOON \\SERVER 60 /C \JOBS\BATCH.CMD SOON \\SERVER /INTERACTIVE CMD /C C:\JOBS\BATCH.CMD SOON /d /l:2 /r:30 /i:on Current Settings : InteractiveAlways = OFF LocalDelay (seconds) = 5 RemoteDelay (seconds) = 15 From: Joseph L.

I think Win32_ScheduledJob Class has an applicable input form, now I just have to write the VB code to get the time, and add 1 minute. then execute the statement. I don't use VB enough, so this should take all day :) jlc From: David L Herrick [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, January 16, 2009 12:10 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Schedule Job with AT Can't your script get current time, add 1 minute and use that as the scheduled time? From: Joseph L. Casale [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, January 16, 2009 10:58 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Schedule Job with AT Anyone know if it's possible to schedule a job with AT in "1 minute from now"? I want to make a script and need to shutdown this way as opposed to simply shutting down with shutdown.exe and a time.
