[hobbit] windows question

[Rebecca Henderson]

I'm not the windows admin. I'm UNIX, Linux...
I'm just trying to put hobbit in place here.
I think you are right about that. 
The "no response to ping" will be emailed to the operations group
>From my hobbit server. 
That should be good enough.
Thanks again!

If you're really gung ho about rebooting your Windows boxes every night
use the machines themselves to issue the command at each night midnight
(or whatever time).

Becki,

Hobbit was developed under the "monitor and inform, but do nothing else"
school of thought.  It cannot schedule a reboot.  However, you might be
able to build something that would reboot a remote system and link it to
the alert system if you think that is wise.  What you would do is have
the alert system run a custom script, and that custom script can do
anything in your power.

But, frankly, this is generally considered A Bad Idea in most circles.

I agree with you but my situation is I'm replacing a system that does
monitor and schedule tasks so I'm trying to meet the needs of the
windows community. An example of this would be HP-Openview ... Monitor,
run tasks, email page etc.... I'm sure there is a way. Thank you for the
reply.

I don't know the answer to that question, but I don't think a monitoring
system is the proper tool to use for taking action.

Is it possible to schedule a windows reboot command through hobbit? See
below

C:\WINDOWS\system32\shutdown.exe/r/f





I need to run this command on a few servers every night and send emails
to
operations, "email" which I finally got working J

Any information would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Becki
