At two minutes past five, the group policy settings on Beeta's computer made it reboot to complete a patch installation. Being a geek he tried to stop it and had no success. Hopefully he had the option to snooze to save and close everything. I think a 3am reboot with a warning on logoff that it would occur would have been more appropriate.
17:02 <Beesta> how does one cancel an automatic windows reboot?
17:02 <Discus> . /shutdown abort or something
17:02 <Discus> from cmd window
17:02 <Discus> or run
17:03 <Discus> google
17:03 <mithrandi> shutdown -a
17:03 <Discus> shutdown /abort
17:03 * Beesta applies windows task manager
17:03 <Beesta> HAH!
17:03 <mithrandi> -a Abort a system shutdown
17:03 <mithrandi> task manager can't do anything about that, can it?
17:03 <Beesta> shit
17:03 <Beesta> relief was temporary
17:04 <Discus> start run shutdown -a
17:04 <Discus> save save save
17:05 Signoff Beesta: #rucus (Quit: leaving)
