Thanks! I'll try this. >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 10/20/01 5:27:42 AM >>> Hi Dana.
I also do not trust reboots with ctrl alt del. I use the freeware utility: psshutdown available here: http://www.sysinternals.com/files/PsShutdn.zip Then I make a file called rebootnow.bat and in it I put: psshutdown -f -t 0 -r -l Then I have openssh on windows installed and access the script via the command: "ssh me@mycomputer rebootnow.bat" Or I have that in a bat file and then I simply execute the batch file, and it asks for a password, then it reboots. Openssh for windows is available here: http://www.networksimplicity.com/openssh/ If does look like you don't have your VNC installed as a service, and installing the service would certainly make things work better, but I like to have a couple back doors cuz I hate driving to the server room!
