Batch File Code (HELP PLEASE)

IMS71301 · 11-16-2007, 12:30 PM

Hey all,

This is my first post here so not quite sure how it works. I've started working on some batch files to automate weekly server reboots. someone from another group i work with had some pre-existing code and sent it my way can anyone identify what the person was trying to do here. I can't ask as they are no longer here
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/programming/396473-batch-file-code-help-please.html

Their Code:

Shutdown /l /r /t:300 "On Call Reboots in Progress" /y /c

i'm guessing /l is log off, /r is reboot, and /t is a timed reboot...

but i tried this exact line of code in my dos prompt and it doesn't work

My Code:

Shutdown -r this restarts my computer.

is that top code server stuff only?

any help is greatly appreciated thanks

this is from my shutdown help page

Code:

Usage: shutdown [-i | -l | -s | -r | -a] [-f] [-m \\computername] [-t xx] [-c "c
omment"] [-d up:xx:yy]

        No args                 Display this message (same as -?)
        -i                      Display GUI interface, must be the first option
        -l                      Log off (cannot be used with -m option)
        -s                      Shutdown the computer
        -r                      Shutdown and restart the computer
        -a                      Abort a system shutdown
        -m \\computername       Remote computer to shutdown/restart/abort
        -t xx                   Set timeout for shutdown to xx seconds
        -c "comment"            Shutdown comment (maximum of 127 characters)
        -f                      Forces running applications to close without war
ning
        -d [u][p]:xx:yy         The reason code for the shutdown
                                u is the user code
                                p is a planned shutdown code
                                xx is the major reason code (positive integer le
ss than 256)
                                yy is the minor reason code (positive integer le
ss than 65536)
