you can try setting rebootCmd=special and have "psshutdown.exe" in
tools\ folder.

If the user is logged on, he is informed that he should save and close
his applications,
or he can cancel the reboot. After a minute, decreasing number of
seconds to cancel is shown and so on ...

BTW: there is an older psshutdown.exe (from former sysinternals.com)
which does not ask for EULA (Microsoft), perhaps you can get it
somewhere on the net.

Best regards,
Falko
