Hi Anthony,
We get rid of users before reboots with scripting so checking if there are
active sessions at 10 minutes intervals with messages between times and then
aborting the reboot shouldn't be too hard.
The basic idea is to schedule the script, and let the script initiate a
reboot, or abort depending on active user sessions. That way you don't have
to waorry about rescheduling a reboot, just running the script at regular
intervals.
Regards,
Rick

Subject: [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
