Take a look at garbo.uwasa.fi /pc/INDEX filelist, or Simtel20 simibm.arc filelist for utilities that call a program at a certain time (there should be several "ats"). Then get a reebooting program (eg warmboot.exe in /pc/ts/tsutld18.arc) and put that in the at call, and the at call in your autoexec.bat. ...................................................................
