Guest John Trauger Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 I support an automation lab. Sometimes systems seem to shut down when they are supposed to restart. I have never caught a system in the act, but I see it in the automation logs. The most common time for this to happen is switching between OSes. Each system has 4 OSes (xp,vista, 32,64, mix 'n match). The system uses batch files to set up a change in OS. The shutdown command used in the batch file is shutdown -r -f Are there known cases where a XP or vista machine shuts down instead of rebooting? Googling this sort of thing gets me huge numbers of useless (for my current problem) "my windows won't shut down" pages.
