Auto Shutdown

[dnesci]

Vixen has an auto shutdown with a time option. Does this just shutdown Vixen or does it shutdown the PC. If it is the PC does it do a restart?

In an earlier thread, XMUS talked of scheduling a PC restart each day to clean things up and avoid memory leaks. How is everyone doing this and how do you avoid having to enter in a password on password protected machines?

Thanks

I was planning on using a batch file to restart the computer. All it needs in the batch file is:
c:\windows\system32\shutdown.exe -f -r -t 00

After you make the batch file, you can run it whenever you want using scheduled tasks in the control panel.

Oh...I almost forgot...this will only work on XP(Other versions don't have shutdown). For other versions, you could download psshutdown from sysinternals and do the same thing.

Also then you put vixen in your startup so when the pc starts it launches vixen... Then the timmer takes over..

Thanks so far. But does anybody know if the Vixen Autoshutdown affects the PC. If not, I'll just have to test it.

OK I tested the function and answered my own question. It shuts down the computer.
