- It is operating correctly, the time out only resets the machine
- to the opening screen. There is a shareware program out called Idleboot
- that allows a machine to reboot after a specified amount of idle time. The
- program has options to check for disc, printer, monitor, and keyboard I/O
- before rebooting. The program also can be set to reboot the PC everyday
- at a user specified time. I'll try to find out who makes the program and
- post it. I'm leaving on a weeks vacation tomorrow, so I won't be answering
- email until I get back if you have questions.
