Cyclic rebooting |

This page gives a brief description of how a PC can be set-up to reboot itself in a cycle. Step1 – Select and save Rebooter settings Start Rebooter and use the “Clear Log” button if necessary to clear the log window. Set the ‘Maximum Reboots’ value to the number of cycles required.

Set the other parameters in Rebooter. (Reboot type, Delay, etc). Don’t set the delay value to be too short, as you want Windows to fully boot before starting the next cycle. 20 Seconds is a good value.

Step2 – Create an autorun shortcut or select “Auto load Rebooter at startup”

Create an autorun short cut that points back to Rebooter executable. See the auto-run page for help on how to do this. The shortcut must use the ‘-Reboot’ command line parameter.

Alternatively, you can select the “Auto load Rebooter at startup” option and Rebooter will start automatically after the next reboot.

Step3 – Start the cycle

Click on the “Start Cycle” button to start the cycle.

Each time Rebooter is started with the ‘–Reboot’ command line parameter, the reboot counter in incremented. Once the reboot counter becomes equal to the Maximum Reboots value no further cycles will be executed and the reboot counter will be reset to zero (ready for the next run).
