Hi

Sorry if this is a little off topic, but would anybody know of any good examples
on the web of how to perform an automatic reboot using C#?

Update: I have recieved 12 more of these in the last hour.

10 Comments

I had them too!

This system really needs a 'please wait a minute before post something again'...

(offtopic: your blog really looks weird in Firefox. Probably a stylesheet error)

While I am disapointed that I wasn't deemed worthy of knowing how to restart a system in C#, I got over 20 comment spams asking if I'd send someone to the 2003 PDC.

I got these comments in Feb 2004.

you guys have it easy! i get close to 300 comment spams a week telling users where they can get stuff to help in bed, etc. some are just 3k of links! (3k is the limit of the comment). i get them by email to, but a little SQL Script is my friend for removing them!

I got a lot of this guys question also -- not exactly a way to make me want to answer.

Ha, never mind I did receive a whole bunch. I am loved!!!

Almost makes me want to type in, oh, I don't know, "reboot computer C#" into google for the guy.

I've got a bunch too. Maybe scott should impelment a feature that will allow us to block IP addresses of people posting comments. Just an Idea.
