[hobbit] windows question

Becki,

I cannot help you with Windows unfortunately. If it helps what we typically do is have a script triggered in hobbit-alerts.cfg to ssh to the problem host and execute a script or command on the remote host (UNIX).

There are reasons to do this. The primary reason being we like sleeping instead of waking up in the early AM to login and execute the command manually. The script on the server also creates a report that is sent to all interested parties that something has been restarted or some action has been taken. We like to call the process automated.

You just have to be careful, that it works and consider what could go wrong. Like in your case, your script goes awry and you end up continously rebooting. You also would have to consider, what if the reboot fails, and what alarms will be created when the host is rebooted.

Sorry, I couldn't be more help.

Is it possible to schedule a windows reboot command through

hobbit? See below

C:\WINDOWS\system32\shutdown.exe/r/f

 

 

I need to run this command on a few servers every night and send

emails to operations, "email" which I finally got working :-)

Any information would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Becki
