My goal is to find a way to restart Windows 2000 using the command prompt. I can either do it directly, or write a program that restarts the computer, and run it from the command prompt. Unfortunately, I don't know how to do either. Anyone know how to do either?

I believe "net" command will do what you want. It's self-documenting, so give it a try.

If it doesn't do what you want, browse MSDN for API call which allows rebooting a machine.


To the moderators: This is more of a "user and administration" type of question, so I don't think it belongs in here too much.

Since you posted to the C languages forum, I'll assume you have access to a C or C++ compiler. The function that you are looking for is called ExitWindowsEx()

Documentation about this function is here:
