How do I programmatically restart Windows with LabVIEW?

[Robert Laswick]

Is it possible to restart MS Windows from LabVIEW? Any examples would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Check out the answer from flo - includes VIs that will let you shut down, restart og log off:

Hi,
here was such a question some time ago. Follow this link:

As I understand now you may have some troubles with restarting Windows under NT like OS (Win NT, 2000, XP).

Good luck.

I think this is the easiest way to do it in Windows XP...

This is the System Exec.vi

I've seen PC's where shutdown wasn't available. Don't know if it's always there on XP.

A side suggestion is to always use a batch file when launching external tools/programs. This will give you the possibility to change your mind later without affecting your application.
