Re: how to have a longer delay before reboot

Lars Norman Søndergaard <l...@globeteam.com>

Hi Bob,

What about changing your package to run shutdown.exe -t no-secs and in SMS
change the program from "SMS restarts" to "program restarts" ?

A number of shutdown programs exists - so find the one you like...

You could also start the with prompting the user "App xyz will be installed.
After the installation your machine will be restarted. Press Ok to
continue".

Thanks
Lars Norman Søndergaard.
