[THIN] Shutdown (with intelligence)

We currently use AT to schedule nightly reboots using shutdown.exe.  Is
there an easy way to schedule intelligent reboots where it will not reboot
if there are users on the system.  I want to be able to schedule a reboot
for say 3am.  I want the batch job to check for any user connections, if
so, want it to re-schedule itself to try again say 20 minutes after.  If
there are no connections, it reboots, if there are, it reschedules again
(lets say it retries for 5 attempts) - if there are users constantly on, it
leaves up and tries again the next day.

Has anyone implemented such a thing via scripts or any other utility?

Thanks
Anthony
