Restarting Windows XP Remotely Using DOS

January 28, 2008 by Michele Neylon 2 Comments

This is more of a reminder for myself than anything else ....

If you need to reboot a Windows XP machine from DOS prompt the command is:
shutdown -r

If you just use the command:
shutdown

without passing any other parameters to it you'll get the help screen with a variety of options.

Kind of useful if your PC (located remotely) is acting up and a reboot is required 🙂

    For a nice GUI interface to this, just run :
    shutdown /i

    GUI? We don’t need no stinking GUI!! 🙂
    Thanks for the tip though 🙂
