Bootcpu v2.0 documentation:
Bootcpu allows the dos user to selectively boot the computer with specific
considerations. Bootcpu accepts command arguments passed to the program to
boot the computer warm (skip post tests) or cold (reset all bios). The
command line must contain 'w' or 'c' (without the quotes) to select the
boot method. For example, to boot cold, enter:
Bootcpu c
Bootcpu also contains the capability to reboot the computer (warm or cold)
after waiting a specified number of seconds after entering the bootcpu
command. For example, to boot warm after waiting ten seconds, enter:
Bootcpu w +10
Bootcpu can also boot the computer based on a range of times according to
the computer system clock. The range of times must be separated by a comma.
Time ranges are entered as a number of seconds past midnight. For example,
to boot cold if the system time is between 2:00 am and 3:00 am, enter:
Bootcpu c 7200,10800
Bootcpu returns to dos if the time range is not verified with the system
time. Bootcpu also returns an errorlevel to dos for the following:
1 = command line error
2 = reboot failure
4 = time range
Bootcpu returns the message 'Time not within range.' if the time range is
not within the system time. This is a successful message indicating the
test for time range did not compare with the system clock. Bootcpu exits
normally in this case.
Bootcpu command line arguments for waiting a certain number of seconds, and
comparing a rnge of times, can be specified together. For example, to reboot
from 3:00 am and 4:00 am, then wait for 20 seconds, would be combined:
Bootcpu c +20 10800,14400
You may freely distribute, modify, alter, or use any of these files,
programs, or documentation, without any fee or charge for use.
