I have been researching on how to write a script that will restart a
Windows 2003 server. I haven’t had much luck yet and was wondering if
anyone else had done anything similar, and how you went about creating
that script.
Thanks!

Hi,
it depends whether you want a local restart or a remote one.
these can be useful:
Shutdown & Restart Shortcuts (use `` to call)
ExitWindowsEx function (winuser.h) - Win32 apps | Microsoft Learn (use Win32API to
call it)
http://groups.google.co.nz/group/ruby-talk-google/browse_thread/thread/a0f7ec27d255ed63
Maybe WMI has something as well… (use Win32OLE to access WMI)
finally have a look at win32utils project at rubyforge.org - it may
already wrap the function for you. (if not, and you succeed with
wrapping, you may consider posting a patch for others to enjoy)

You could just do shutdown /r

Thanks for the reply Jano.
I am just looking to create a ruby script that will do a local
restart. Just write the ruby script, create a task in task scheduler
and be done with it. I’ll check out the links you’ve posted below.
I’ll take a look at the win32utils. I had forgotten about that
project.
cygwin also has a package with a reboot / restart command. And you can
even schedule cron jobs with cygwin.
Kind regards
robert
I just found that. Using that is probably much simpler than trying to
access the WMI and all that stuff.
Thanks!
