Easiest way is to write a reboot script and schedule it to run each night - or
some other appropreate timing. How often really depends on your environment -
I use a staggered re-boot off all our production servers at half hour intervals
starting at 1am each morning.
If you have Metaframe XP of higher you can schedule reboots from CMC but I
still prefer a script as it allows me to do other housekeeeping stuff.
Below is my re-boot script which should give you the idea
-Ec
@echo off
:: REBOOT.CMD - Scripted process to reboot a Terminal Server - run via
Schedule service
:: to reboot Metaframe servers at regular intervals.
:: Last Alterd by EJC - 3rd Oct 2003
:: This script uses SLEEP.EXE & NOW.EXE from the NT Resource kit
:: And BLAT.EXE (freeware command line SMTP mailer)
:: These files need to be somewhere in the path and BLAT will need to be
installed as per
:: the documentation for this script to work correctly.
:: The script starts by checking that another Terminal server responds to a ping
:: If no response the server will not be re-booted.
:: The re-boot process starts by sending a message to any active users
informing them
:: that the server is about to be shutdown and gives them time to save their
work and
:: logoff.
:: Once active users have had time to logoff the following processes are
performed.
:: New logins are disabled
:: Disconnected sessions are logged off.
:: Active Sessions are logged off
:: Any remaining sessions are reset
:: Spooler service is stopped
:: Spool directory is cleared
:: Log file of shutdown process is sent to admin account
:: Server is shutdown and re-booted

Subject: [THIN] Reboot Terminal Server
I want to go to the cmd prompt and reboot the server and give a warning to the
users on the system. How do you do that? How often should we reboot it? Would
one time per day be too much or hurt the system?
Thanks,
Linda
