Restart Computer Alert
General information
With the help of this alert, you can restart the
local computer or a remote. Note that only machines with Windows
systems can be restarted this way. To restart a computer with a
Unix system installed on it, an External Command alert can be used.
It runs a batch script connecting to the Unix computer via
ssh/telnet and sending the shutdown/reboot command.
If the Timeout field is not set to zero, the
alert displays a dialog box on the specified computer. The dialog
box displays the name of the user who called the function and the
message specified in the Message field and prompts the user
to log off. The dialog box beeps when it is created and remains on
top of other windows opened in the system. The dialog box can be
moved but cannot be closed. The timer counts down the remaining
time before a forced shutdown. Such a forced shutdown can be
controlled by the Forcibly applications with unsaved changes
check box.
Alert Settings
Besides the standard alert
settings, the following settings are available:
- Machine name - Select the name of the computer that
should be restarted.
- Message - The message displayed on the target machine if
the timeout is not set to zero.
- Timeout - The number of seconds to wait before shutting
down the computer.
- Forcibly applications with unsaved changes - Force the
running applications to be closed while shutting down the computer.
Do not wait till they are closed.
