Does it exist? How can I do it or do I need a utility.
What do you want to reset?
if i understan you correctly you want to do a reboot for your system...
try this (DOS):
create a text file called reboot.txt
insert this following 6 lines inside:
E 40:72 34 12
RCS
FFFF
RIP
0000
G
now save the file.
do (with no spaces):
debug < reboot.txt
if it will not work i will send you a compileed file which do the same.
WARNING - I havent tested it on NT based systems...
at the dos Prompt type "echo HPS╦ > reboot.com"
That is an "H"+"P"+"S"+ALT+203 (on the keypad).
THen run reboot.com
Much easier to remember.
sorry guys I have not had success on either suggestion.
I've emailed you a zip of a little DOS utility called DO.EXE, which does several things, including a warm or cold reboot. Hope it helps.
You have a dickens of a time restarting a computer from a DOS prompt in Windows.... Are you at a pure command prompt or in a DOS SHell?
If in windows dos box you type
rundll32.exe shell32.dll,SHExitWindowsEx 2

That's a beautiful thing to slap into a desktop shortcut also :D
Start DEBUG by typing the following at the MS-DOS command prompt:
debug
At the dash prompt, enter the following sequence of commands, each followed by pressing ENTER. (Comments are preceded by ";".)
A 100 ; Debug instruction for assemble
MOV AH,0D ; Disk Reset
INT 21h ; causes SmartDrv 4.x to write cache
MOV AX, 40 ; set up segment addressing
MOV DS, AX
DS:
OR BYTE PTR [17],0C ; equivalent of pressing CTRL+ALT
MOV AX,4F53 ; Issue a "DEL" (53h = DEL scan code)
INT 15h ; EMM386 sees this & shuts down
DS:
MOV WORD PTR [72],1234 ; Set REBOOT flag to Warm-Boot (0=cold)
JMP F000:FFF0 ; Execute the internal restart routine
<CR> ; This line must be blank (just hit ENTER)
R CX
20 ; File size to be written to disk (in hex)
N REBOOT.COM ; Filename
W ; Write the file to disk
Q ; Quit Debug
NOTE: The REBOOT.COM file created with this debug script is compatible with SMARTDrive and its write-behind cache feature. The instructions in REBOOT.COM cause SMARTDrive to write (flush) its write-behind cache to disk before the computer is rebooted.
This procedure creates the file REBOOT.COM in the current directory. At this point, you can call the file in the same manner as any other executable file, either from the command line or within a batch file, and the system will reboot

Put the above bytes into a Hex editor and save the
file as Reset.com. Watch out, its really fast!
Goes all the way back to POST beep and if done from a Windows DOS box is guarenteed to get you a
Scandisk session.
