I'm a complete novice in scripting, so starting off just trying to tweak other scripts. I found a script that checks, downloads, and installs Microsoft updates from command line. Is there a way to include a reboot command when complete, or perhaps daisy chain or pipe in a command after it?
To run it, you type cscript.exe ForceAU.vbs
Is there a way to add a command (shutdown /r) to/after it, or does it have to be a setting in the script itself?
