Subject: Re: Ruby script that will restart a Windows server...

Thanks for the reply Jano.

I am just looking to create a ruby script that will do a local
restart. Just write the ruby script, create a task in task scheduler
and be done with it. I'll check out the links you've posted below.

I'll take a look at the win32utils. I had forgotten about that
project.
