You could use Shutdown.exe from the resource kit and write a batch file and
have it run. Why do need to do this though? There really shouldn't be a
reason for a machine to regularly reboot unless you are doing some updates
or something.

If you can't find MS's on the inet, there are many free 3rd party versions.
You could also repackage the SP and tell it to reboot after the
installation.
