Uh? I'm sorry but I'm not quite sure what's the point here. If
the process wants to reboot at night, I believe it has no standard 
way of making sure the cache buffers have been flushed before
the reboot. (Except maybe waiting for a couple of seconds, but
I wouldn't rely on that myself since who knows what kind of
update-every-30-minutes caches people use.)

My "solution" was merely meant for batch files that need to
reboot after an automatic replacement of autoexec.bat or
config.sys and that sort of stuff.
