Hack 35 Put a Logoff Icon on the Desktop

Here's a script that will
enable users to safely reboot their machines when
necessary.

Occasionally, users need a way to reboot their machines
when applications hang or updates have been installed. Rather than
give users instructions about how to do this properly, it would be
nice if a user could instead simply click on an icon that would log
them off properly and reboot their machine in a way that does not
endanger their work.

That's what this script is aboutallowing your
users to safely reboot their machines from an
icon on their desktops. This VBScript prompts the user to make sure
he has saved his data, then logs the user off and automatically
reboots. This is quite handy when you push updates via SMS but
suppress the reboot.

The Code

Just type the following script into Notepad (with Word Wrap disabled) and
save it with a .vbs extension as
LogoffIcon.vbs:

Set OpSysSet = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate,(Shutdown)}" & _
"//./root/cimv2").ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM " & _
"Win32_OperatingSystem WHERE Primary = true")
ianswer = MsgBox("Did you save your data first?"+vbLf++vbLf+ " LOGOFF?", _
vbCritical + vbYesNo, _
"Logoff?")
If ianswer = vbYes Then 'If OK, shut down
For Each OpSys In OpSysSet
outParam = OpSys.Reboot
If err.number <> 0 Then
WScript.echo "Error number: " & Err.Number & _ 
vbNewLine & _
"Description: " & Err.Description
End If
Next 
Else ' user selected cancel
MsgBox "Logoff Aborted", , "Logoff Aborted"
End If

Copy the script to a folder on the user's machine
and create a shortcut to the folder on his desktop. Then, when the
user needs to reboot his machine, he can double-click on the shortcut
and a dialog box (see Figure 3-7) will suggest that
he save his work before logging off.

Figure 3-7. Logging off and rebooting

Once he saves his work and clicks OK, he is logged off and his
computer shuts down and restarts.
