It also does not specify material type. It is a known fact that Columbian substances have to be controlled in a different way to others.

I want this so I can make changes to my servers remotely then reboot, as I've just found out it hard to do when your not there ! Does anyone know of one ? Failing that, does anyone have something that will crash 100% of the time OS/2 so that it reboots with the relevant commands in config.sys, I know, its a big ask :-) Cheers Ian B Manners http://www.os2site dot com/ Nothing is so smiple that it can't get screwed up. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- **= Email 4 ==========================** Date: Mon, 16 Dec 2002 10:21:37 +0100 From: Kris Steenhaut Subject: Re: [os2genau] a reboot question Ian Manners schreef: > Hi oh wise and knowledgeable ones ;-) > > I've looked hi and low for a utility to reboot OS/2 from the > command AiR-BOOT has an utility called setaboot.exe to fulfil to your wishes. I don't think it would be necessary to install AiR-BOOT into the MBR, but nevertheless I would recommend is, as you would have an excellent tool on top of your wish. I'm using AiR-BOOT for almost a year now, and couldn't do without. http://AiR-BOOT dot netlabs dot org > line in a system that DOES NOT have windows > or DOS support, and it has no boot manager. > > I want this so I can make changes to my servers remotely > then reboot, as I've just found out it hard to do when your > not there ! > > Does anyone know of one ? > Failing that, does anyone have something that will crash > 100% of the time OS/2 so that it reboots with the relevant > commands in config.sys, I know, its a big ask :-) > > Cheers > Ian B Manners > http://www.os2site dot com/ > > Nothing is so smiple that it can't get screwed up. > -- Groeten uit Gent, Kris ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- **= Email 5 ==========================** Date: Mon, 16 Dec 2002 21:55:29 +1100 From: Ed Durrant Subject: Re: [os2genau] a reboot question Doesn't SETBOOT /IBD:C work even if you don't have Bootmanager installed ?? Worth a try and its part of the OS. If not, I'm sure I've a utility "somewhere". If I find it I'll send it to you off-list. Cheers/2 Ed.
