Occasionally my brother would like to use some DOS applications
while I am away from my computer which is running ESIX.

I would like to give him the following instructions:
1. Turn on computer monitor. 
2. Press ALT-F1.
3. Turn off the modem only if the lights aren't flashing.
3. Type 'autodown'
4. Wait for a minute until it says 'Press any key to reboot',
   then press a key.


What I would like is someone to tell me what commands need to
go into the 'autodown' script which would do an fdisk to
the dos partition and then do an immediate powerdown (without
prompting for confirmation).

Is this possible?
