Is there a way to use Scheduled Tasks to schedule a reboot of a node that has the agent installed? I tried a script with $node -> agent.system.restart and just agent.system.restart which did not work. But that is the basic idea of what I want to do.

As an alternative, I was looking at scheduling a script to execute a command on the agent (Windows, so I would use shutdown.exe), but I do not see a way to accomplish this.

Finally, I think I could use Event Processing Policy, when device enters maintenance mode AND I have a unique identifier set (custom attribute) on the node I want to reboot, it will perform an action to restart the server. When node leaves maintenance, run a script to clear the unique identifier.

Those options are in order of what I think are the best ways to accomplish (if possible) what I want to do. Any suggestions on the first two or thoughts on the third one?

Thank you,

Gary

Hi,

you can use function AgentExecuteAction to execute action on remote agent. So script which will cause remote node to restart will looks like this:


AgentExecuteAction($node, "System.Restart");


you can create scheduled task which will call this script.
