Using version 2.3.7 and running a script that runs the script:

Reboot( )

DONE:
// Done

Unfortunately, since the machine reboots, it never send the completion message back to the master scheduler. Thus, when trying to shutdown the master scheduler I get the message "1 connection to remote agents is still opened ... Are you sure you want to shutdown ...?"

Is there any way around this?

Create a job with the name "Reboot" on the agent's computer using the standalone version of 24x7. This job should have " " for the schedule.

The script for this job would be just "Reboot"

In the job you submit from the master replace
"Reboot" with
"Dim( process, number )
Run( "24x7 /JOB Reboot", "", process )"

This will allow the agent to finish active job and start another instance of 24x7 which in turn will reboot the machine.

I setup the job as described and here is the response I get on the remote machine when the job tries to run:

Unable to register 24x7 Scheduler instance because another instance of 24x7 Scheduler or 24x7 Remote Agent is already running on this computer. Cannot continue.

It should be fine if you upgrade 24x7 on the agent computer to the version 2.3.6 or later.

Agent is running 2.3.7. Help, About.

Can you run any other job from the command line while the agent is running?

By the way, you may want to try a command line approach. You may want to use the following link to download command line utility that can reboot both local and remote computers. This is freeware. Use at your own risk. After downloading run reboot.exe to view available command line parameters.
