This should be fixed soon, perhaps somewhere middle April. If you're using XP, you can use the shutdown command to force a reboot. > The other method, running WPKG as a service, poses a problem in my > environment as I don't want people being able to log in while packages are > being installed. > > The last method, running WPKG as a scheduled task at night time seems the > most attractive to me... however, again I was just wondering -- how do other > admins do it? I'd recommend WPKG Installer GUI, but it seems it does not have all features you need yet (reboot bug you mentioned). Before that, I was using a Task Scheduler with Samba domains; in AD environment, one can simply start scripts (on bootup, shutdown etc.) using AD functionality. -- Tomasz Chmielewski http://wpkg.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
