I want to automate a Windows 2000+ server reboot process using Task Scheduler or similar tool to remotely reboot a server and wait for it to come back up. I can issue shutdown or psshutdown to remotely reboot, but I want something better than sleep to wait for it to come back. I need to verify it is back online within n minutes or thro...
I have a Windows XP SP2 virtual machine which can be accessed via VNC. It's also running Deep Freeze so there should be no problem in forcing it to reboot. I am looking for a way to force the operating system to reboot instead of shutting down or completely remove the ability to shut down the machine using software applications (such as ...
Our application takes significantly more time to launch after a reboot (cold start) than if it was already opened once (warm start). Most (if not all) the difference seems to come from loading DLLs, when the DLLs' are in cached memory pages they load much faster. We tried using ClearMem to simulate rebooting (since its much less time c...

I am using the Windows Update API to update a bunch of VM's. With Windows Update comes the inevitable reboots. Can anyone think of a way that I could tell from a remote server if the windows box has indeed finished its reboot? All ideas or thoughts would appreciated. EDIT: Because the VM's are in Lab Manager and using a fenced configura...
I need to reboot a Linux box from a user space process. I want to have the following behavior: sync file systems not attempt to gracefully stop processes, go to runlevel 5/6, etc., for I assume things are bad and that would fail Can those requirements be achieved together at all? I was planning to write a 'b' into proc/sysrq-trigge...
I wanted to use the Python installed under cygwin rather than one installed under WinXP directly, so I edited ~/.bashrc and sourced it. Nothing changed. I tried other things, but nothing I did changed $PATH in any way. So I rebooted. Aha; now $PATH has changed to what I wanted. But, can anyone explain WHY this happened? When do cha...
I want to have a button in my WPF app that restarts the machine. This app is always running on Vista. The fact that a quick search hasn't turned anything up makes me think this might be harder than I wish it was... any ideas? Thanks! ...

It succeeds immediately when I start the service manually, but on reboot it gets System Error 53 (Network Path not found) until I do something such as logoff or "fiddle" with ...
I'd like to know what is the Windows API function (if any exists) that provides information about the last Windows reboot source. There are three main possible causes: The computer crashed on a blue screen A user or a program shutdown/restarted the computer A power lost The more details I can get the better.

If my app needs to reboot the system to change something and I'd like it to automatically continue its actions after the reboot, how can I add a key to the registry (more importantly, where in the registry) to launch the app on the first reboot? Just to be clear, I want this reboot-launch to happen only once. In other words, once the com...
I'm debugging a Mac OS X kernel via a remote target (target remote-kdp) when it gets into a kernel panic. I can introspect the state of the machine at the time, but if I need to restart the machine I have to do a hard power down, which involves direct physical access. This means I can't script introspecting kernel panics. Is it possible...
