Program restarts, hibernations and shut downs software

<< < (3/4) > >>

Ath:
In the Windows 2000 era I've created a tool called BootSwitch, to switch between entries in boot.ini, but after Windows XP it was useless, because of the new boot-config database introduced in Windows Vista.

I've attached a zip with an installer for that tool.
- Created by me using Delphi 5 (AFAIR)
- No crapware added
- No guarantees (haven't touched it in over 10 years!)

Contro:
Wooovvvv.
I'll try and comment

Contro:
Ja Dutch. Wonderful.
I have tried and see the lines of my boot.ini are editable. So perhaps if I will remember how to put the modifier to begin in safe mode.

/safemode ?¿?¿?¿?¿

Best Regards

Note : the program is similar to Restart, but more complete.

Contro:
There are lots of programs to do pieces of the things you want, but nothing I know of that puts them all together.

* Scheduled reboots by Poweroff
* Multiple reboots by Rebooter
* Boot into safe mode by BootSafe

Poweroff at least has a very good command line so you could script most of its actions as desired.

I am trying to understand Passmark rebooter. Seems very interesting, but I don't understand the 15 secs.

My system last a little more to load, or even in closing.

How can I cycle ?

x16wda:
This is from the help file about Cyclic Rebooting.  You would need to set up the Auto-Login section and enable it, then set up a shortcut in your Startup folder to the program, making sure to include the -Reboot option.  Then set the number of reboots you want on the screen and click Reboot Now to start...


"This page gives a brief description of how a PC can be set-up to reboot itself in a cycle.

Step1 – Select and save Rebooter settings
Start Rebooter and use the “Clear” button to return the reboot count to 0.
Set the ‘Maximum Reboots’ value to the number of cycles required.  <--- MY NOTE: how many times you want to reboot
Set the other parameters in Rebooter. (Reboot type, Delay, etc). Don’t set the delay value to be too short, as you want Windows to fully boot before starting the next cycle. 20 Seconds is a good value.   <--- MY NOTE: you may want it to be longer than 20 seconds!
Save the settings, with the ‘Save Options’ button.

Step2 – Create an autorun shortcut
Create an autorun short cut that points back to Rebooter executable. See the auto-run page for help on how to do this. The shortcut must use the  ‘-Reboot’ command line parameter.

Step3 – Start the cycle
Click on the “Reboot Now” button to start the cycle.

Each time Rebooter is started with the ‘–Reboot’ command line parameter, the reboot counter in incremented. Once the reboot counter becomes equal to the Maximum Reboots value no further cycles will be executed and the reboot counter will be reset to zero (ready for the next run).
