RemBoot: F.A.Q.

Question: I usually reboot my servers by going into my remote control software and using Start > Shutdown. Why is your utility better?

Answer: RemBoot works even when remote control programs don't, because it was designed to cope in very low memory situations. Also RemBoot is faster because you don't have to wait for screen-redraw, and you don't have to press any [ok] buttons on the applications. RemBoot notifies each application that shutdown is imminent, and makes each one close (after a 20 second grace period).

Question: Every time I bring up the RemBoot login page in my web browser, I am prompted about some secure certificate. How do I stop that message from appearing?

Answer: Install the CAcert.crt file which you will find in your "cert" directory on the server where you installed RemBoot. Double-click it to start the installation process. Screen shots follow:
