Hi...
I'm having problems with one of my remote machines running
2.2.2-RELEASE that seems to "feel" like a SCSI bus problem. There isn't much
I can do about it, since the machine is 2500 kilometers, and 3 provinces
away :( So, right now, she is down, and will be for the next 10hrs or
so...very bad for business :(
Does anyone know of any way of doing a remote power cycle of a machine?
Mainly, what I was thinking, was the ability to throw on some sort of
device that I can either telnet to (we have a Sparc20 on location, so maybe
a device hanging off a serial port from that?) or dialup into on the phone,
that I can force the machine to reboot itself? Or maybe "terminate" the
power and turn it back on again?
