[WEB4LIB] Shutting down PC's at closing

[Glen Davies]

Hi

I am using a combination of "System agent" (this is a bit of 
scheduling software that comes with win95Plus) and a freeware 
shutdown utility (part of win95tool available from various freeware 
servers). 
At 10pm each night the scheduling software is set to run 
shutdown.exe. I have had it running for a couple of months now and 
only occasionally do machines not shutdown due to hung 
programs etc. We are using Digital PCs which power off when 
shutdown is selected. Getting them to start up automatically would 
be the next step, but unfortunately only a few of our network cards 
have remote wakeup capability.

Regards
Glen
