Subj : Remote safe reboot

I've got one remote sysstem which shares an OS/2 BBS operation with HyperHost
for OS/2.  On infrequent occaisions, this system gets sticky with Hyperhost and
doesn't let me work accurately with the remote desktop for some reason I've
never been able to trace.  If I can physically be at the site, shutting down
HyperHost and re-starting it will fix this.  But that doesn't do much good from
miles and mile away from it.

HyperHost and access from it from HyperAccess Pro do have an option to Reboot
the remote PC.  However, if I use it, this particular Warp4 FixPack 17 system
with all the latest goodies traps on reboot with an OS/2 insufficient memory
error I've not been able to trace.  It has plenty of memory, but something
isn't right during the reboot.

I've not tried a crude <CTRL ALT DEL> to see what that would do while at the
site.

The important thing is that any reboot has the whole CONFIG.SYS and Desktop set
to automatically bring back up the Bink/Max BBS as well as the HyperHost
application.  Which works perfectly well from any normal shutdown.

What is a good command line program which could be run from the BBS which would
properly shut down both the BBS and the HyperHost applications, then
automatically get a 'normal' OS/2 boot run started?

Inquiring mind wants to know.

Thanks!
