Question : Server Reboot Schedule

I am trying to develop a server reboot schedule.
I would like to use the shutdown.exe to possibly call server names listed in a text file to be rebooted all at once.
I could just add and remove of make multiple files for each set of servers (example SQL, exchange, domain controllers each having a separate file)
I would assume a simple batch file could be created to call this file but i do not know how to write it.
