Hi you dont need the "SysInternals PsShutdown Utility" and "SysInternals PSKill Utility".... For an Shutdown you can use shutdown: "shutdown -r -f -t 60" make a restart;kill all progs;restarting the pc in 1 minute To kill a task you can use taskkill: "taskkill /F /IM notepad.exe" kill the prog;after /IM write the exe name to kill more task's: "taskkill /F /IM notepad.exe /IM wordpad.exe" Bye Laus
