Automatic Shutdown Script Issue

Clarifications

I have my shutdown\restart on my servers scheduled with the command line itself.

The run line for the scheduled weekly restart task is
c:\WINDOWS\system32\shutdown.exe /r

Try putting the command line directly in the run line of the scheduled task. No need for the batch file.

You need to tell the computer what time to run the bat file you need to schedule a task to run the file.

or you can use the -r to remotely shutdown the computer in question.

I understand that in some ways a batch file works and its a choice. But he's using the scheduler to run the batch file and its failing. He's not creating the scheduled task with a command in the batch file.

Well, I went ahead and abandoned the script, there were just too many problems with it. I have it set up now that when all the programs finish for the night it will shutdown automatically and it work. Thanks all for the replies, most helpful.

I've found using shutdown / instead of - works on XP.
Also, to create a scheduled task you can use the AT command.
