There is a service for Windows that can do this. That you can just poke it to restart the whole server. I imagine something similar exists for Unix. In fact you could probably write a cron script to do it. By just creating a file for example it will see it and restart a daemon or the machine.
For example here is a cron tab that restarts appache. http://www.richardpalace.com/2008/05/14/cron-job-restart-apache But instead have it check for the existence of a reboot file (much more frequenctly, say every 10 seconds). Push the file onto the server remotely by what ever means, The cron tab script sees it, deletes the file, and restarts service (or reboots machine). -- mswlogo XP > Cat5 > Transporter > SPDIF > Meridian G68 > DSP6000, DSP5500HC, DSP5000 XP > Cat5 > SB3 > SPDIF > Meridian DSP5000 XP > Cat5 > SB3 > SPDIF > Meridian G91 > DSP5000 'My Transporter Setup' (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showpost.php?p=350741&postcount=45) 'Hitch Hikers Guide to Meridian' (http://www.meridianunplugged.com) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mswlogo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9090 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=56183 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
