Dear all
I want reboot the PC daily at 08:00 by batch file.
this command below just to reboot the PC

echo off
shutdown.exe -r -t 00

is there additional command to reboot PC daily at 08:00

Thanks

schtasks /create /sc daily /tn restart /st 08:00:00 /tr "shutdown.exe -r -t 0 -f"

No batch file required.

I don't know what is u mean about "No batch file required"

this example doesn't work as a batch file

schtasks /create /sc daily /tn restart /st 08:00:00 /tr "shutdown.exe -r -t 0 -f"

but after add
echo off
in the first line then double click on a batch it work.
I was mean I want to do this task every day morning at 08:00 am automatically without double click on the file or make schedule from system tools.

If I'm not mistaken, the following:

schtasks /create /sc daily /tn restart /st 08:00:00 /tr "shutdown.exe -r -t 0 -f"

is to be run from the command line and will create the scheduled task to reboot your PC at the specified time each day.

Why do you feel you need to reboot your computer every day?

I have many PC's connected through a network.For specific reason I want to reboot theses PC's every day at 08:00 morning so if there are any way or idea to reboot the PC by batch file it is will great.

What, like this?
schtasks /create /sc daily /tn restart /st 08:00:00 /tr "cmd /c for /f %a in ('net view') do shutdown.exe -r -t 0 -f -m %a"
(Warning: Probably won't work if the workstation's locked.)

it's not work!

Well, in order for the reboot to work, you must run the task as someone who has the authority to shut the PC's down.

I know this idea FishMonger but I want a batch file to do this task automatically every day morning at 08:00 am.

A batch file by itself can't automatically execute itself.

Microsoft has chosen to design a specific feature in their OS called the Task Scheduler to accomplish what you want.

Do you have a valid reason for not wanting to use the standardized method to automatically execute your batch file?

Yes, we have many PC's so for that reason I don't want to doing this task through schedule.
thanks

You basically have 3 options. Schedule the task as has been outlined to you (remember, the task itself has to be created by someone with the proper credentials). Manually reboot each PC every morning, or finally, never reboot any of them.

I don't understand your objection to using the command line to schedule the task. Even if we provided you with a batchfile, you'd STILL have to run around and schedule it on each individual PC! There is no magic application out there that you can schedule once on a server (or PC) and have it reboot all PC's in your network.......period!

I'm sorry but, you've been given solid advice on a simple way to accomplish your goal (which in and of itself makes no sense. I never shut my work PC off without good reason and it's likley been months since it was rebooted. Rebooting in and of itself is useless unless you've misconfigured something or are running a lousy app that eats up memory and won't release it when it's done. I rarely, if ever reboot my home PC's either. The one that's my firewall hasn't been reset or shutdown in months because rebooting is unnecessary) if you choose to grasp at straws that's not our problem. We've tried to help you to our own frustration.

Good luck to you!

I agree with u but I was Know if there way to do this in the network coz I have many PC's connected through wireless but every morning some of PC dosen't connected through the Net. but after restart the PC's the connection back again , so I but some of these PC's from power and option never standby ,so now I think the problem resloved.
thanks

Just out of curiosity, what happens if a user is logged into the computer and, God forbid, actually working at 0800? Won't he/she get just a tiny bit upset if the computer suddenly reboots when the he/she is in the middle of working on something important? How are you going to explain that to him/her if data is lost?

Life's more painless for the brainless.
