For Each os in OS_Set.Instances_()

I call the following batch file "reboot_the_world.CMD".
@ECHO OFF
REM SYNOPSIS
REM
REM reboot_the_world [force] <action> <match...> [ /EXCLUDE
<exclusion...> ] REM REM OVERVIEW REM REM Reboots or shuts down
computers matching a name pattern. You can also exclude items.
REM
REM USAGE
REM
REM * <action> is one of "list", "reboot", or "shutdown". The "list"
action simply displays names without shutting down or rebooting
anything.
REM * <force>, if specified, is a literal string, prefixing the action.
It tells the shutdown command to do a force-close, rather than a
graceful-close, of any open user programs.
REM * <match...> is one or more patterns, separated by spaces. Each
pattern will be compared against the list of active computers, and
matches are added to the list of reboot targets.
REM * If the optional /EXCLUDE switch is used, <exclusion...> is one or
more patterns, separated by spaces. Each pattern will be compared
against the list of reboot targets, and filter out any matches.
REM
REM * Exclusions override matches.
REM * Pattern matching and option-names are case-insensitive.
REM * Pattern matching is a simple substring compare. Wildcards,
regular expressions, etc., are not supported.
REM * Dependant on the NetBIOS browse list (Network Neighborhood, My
Network Places, etc.) to get active computers.
REM * Forcing does NOT first attempt a graceful-close; it just kills
user programs.
REM
REM PREREQUISITES
REM
REM Needs the SHUTDOWN utility from the Windows 2000 Resource Kit,
renamed as "RKSHUTDOWN.EXE".
