First off, windows has no clue what a fork is, much less the command 'shutdown -r -t 01'. You can get a windows based version here for windows 2000, http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;317371&sd=tech If you on windows xp or 2003 servers I'm not sure how this will work now that MS in there infinate wisdom has implemented the shutdown/ reboot logging stuff where you have to tell it why your rebooting or shutting it down. (IMHO the dumbest thing ever) >From personal experiance I would test this on a local machine first before putting it on a production system, as they don't always act the way you intend them to. Second, why are you having to reboot the system? Is an application stopping or something else like that because it would be easier to restart the service / application than rebooting the sytem if thats the case.
