Designed for...
Anyone responsible for rebooting a remote server, especially network administrators who value every minute saved on routine tasks.
Overview and Benefits
The Remote Reboot Utility ("RemBoot") is a software product which runs on a server running Windows, awaiting the need for a reboot. Upon authenticated request, it asks all running applications and services to stop and after a timeout, forces them to stop. The utility then reboots the server. RemBoot is controlled over HTTPS using any web browser. All you need is a connection to the Internet and your login details to reboot the server. RemBoot runs on your choice of port, to avoid conflict with http, ftp and other servers on the same machine.
When combined with monitoring software, RemBoot can automatically reboot servers when they reach an unhealthy state.
FREE Demo Info / Screenshots
To give you a quick idea of how the Remote Reboot Utility works, we are
including screen shots that show what it looks like when you login, and after you press the reboot
button.
The first step is to use a web browser to trigger RemBoot over HTTPS:
The second step is to press the reboot button. This will lead to a confirmation screen, telling you
that RemBoot has taken action. Within a few seconds,
your computer will shutdown and restart. RemBoot will ask each running application to close (so that
database changes are saved, etc.). If the applications do not respond, RemBoot will force them to
end so that the shutdown procedure succeeds even if there is a severe application error pending.
