Subject: [Talk] Using BootManager and other reliablity techniques

 

Greetings,

 

Sorry for my “no information post” earlier J

 

Anyhow here is some actual information:

 

To use the Boot Manager here is what you do.

First, put a copy of BootMgr.exe in the same directory as your project file (script). Optionally you can put a shortcut to this instance of the Bootmanager in your startup directory – bootmanager can launch your script if desired. Or you can have your script Shell the instance of bootmanager.

Run the BootManager and set the configuration settings (pretty self explanatory when you open it)

 

Once running, Bootmanager is “listening” for your script to execute the command -  RebootUpdate.

If it “hears” the message, it resets its counter (the value set for Automatic Reboot after). If it doesn’t hear any messages for the specified interval, it reboots the machine, and performs the specified login / start programs / scripts.

 

Therefore your script should execute RebootUpdate after every successful “transaction” or if it is listening / watching for something, it should execute RebootUpdate on an interval.

 

Rebooting is obviously a pretty dramatic way to fix a problem J - other techniques would be to use Timeouts to detect “the unknown”, a good reset routine that can find it’s way home – and if need be killing the process of the application you are connected to (there’s an example in our script library that can do this).

 

Please give support a call if you have any implementation questions – and once again, I apologize to the group for my “non informational post” earlier.

 

Regards,

Thom
