helps what we typically do is have a script triggered in hobbit-alerts.cfg to
ssh to the problem host and execute a script or command on the remote host
(UNIX). </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=798424900-19022008><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>There are reasons to do this. The primary reason
being we like sleeping instead of waking up in the early AM to login and execute
the command manually. The script on the server also creates a report that
is sent to all interested parties that something has been restarted or some
action has been taken. We like to call the process automated.

<DIV><SPAN class=798424900-19022008><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>You
just have to be careful, that it works and consider what could go wrong.
Like in your case, your script goes awry and you end up continously
rebooting. You also would have to consider, what if the reboot fails, and
what alarms will be created when the host is rebooted.
