To do a scheduled reboot, you can run a reboot program (available on the
web) and simply schedule it in Control Panel>Scheduled Task in XP or W2k.

I have a reboot program like this that I use with WinXP remote access.
Occasionally I get errors that interfere with program function, but not with
the remote access. So I simply launch the reboot program, and wait a minute
or 2 for the reboot to occur, then connect back to XP via remote access. 

With remote access, the option to Restart isn't in the Start>Shut Down menu,
so reboot programs like this are needed.

What operating system are you running? I think I know a way to reboot XP.

i don't know off-hand how to reboot.

create a CHOICE Object (which I will name "X") whose choices are in 
TIME.CHC (Choices="FILE:time.chc").
script:
         if  update  is  Clock.Sunset
         then  X  set  Clock.Sunset
         then  X  subtract  30

then compare to X inst of Clock.Sunset
