Restart when script completes

[djones]

Howdee,

 

Continuing my script learning quest...

 

I would like to add the necessary code to force a restart when a script has completed everything (e.g. installing software etc). All the options I can find at the moment are about 400 lines of code just to do this 'simple' task - an exaggeration I know! Is there a shorter/simple/quicker way to achieve what I want?

 

Thanks, Dave.

What language are you using ?

Using basic batch commands you can use a:

 

shutdown -r

 

Or Autoit shutdown command:

 

Shutdown(6) ;Force a reboot

Aggree 100% with that - I've always take the approach of keeping scripts as short as possible.

Sorry, should have mentioned that!

 

VB scripts.

Arrr, thats why you are finding examples of bloated code.....:-)

I never will understand why when looking at VB scripts it takes 10 lines to do something which takes say 2 or 3 in batch or AutoIT...

Ok...shortest code will do then! ;-)
