Check out Kixtart scripting utility. You can get it on the web or any
Microsoft operating system Resource kit.

Subject: [Vantage] OT - Help with batch file


I have a batch file that I created that uses the psshutdown utility
It reboots all the data collection pc's on our shop floor
The problem I have is
I want to be able to give a warning before I do this
I used the REM command but it looks sloppy
I'd like to have the opportunity to let the user answer Y/N
Any way I can do this?

Check out their website. It has a description of the -m command that will do
what you need.
