Features
Reboot Manager is an advanced automation tool designed to streamline and control system reboots across diverse IT environments. It is engineered to support multiple operating systems, including Windows (both Server and Client editions), Linux, and macOS (Darwin), ensuring broad compatibility for heterogeneous networks.
🔹 Key Features
Multi-OS Support:
• Automatically detects the operating system of each managed endpoint and issues the appropriate reboot command, whether it's Windows, Linux, or macOS. This ensures seamless operation across mixed environments without manual intervention.
Policy-Based Reboot Scheduling:
• Administrators can define detailed reboot policies specifying schedule type (daily, weekly, monthly), time of day, and applicable days. Policies can be assigned at the computer, location, or client level, allowing granular control over reboot operations.
• The system evaluates all applicable policies for each endpoint and determines if a reboot is due based on the current time and policy schedule.
Group Management:
• Devices can be organized into reboot groups, enabling coordinated reboots for related systems. Group dependencies and reboot order can be configured, ensuring that critical systems are rebooted in a controlled sequence with customizable delays between group members.
• The group management logic checks the online status of each group member and logs or skips reboots for offline devices, maintaining operational integrity.
Automated Retry and Escalation:
• If a scheduled reboot fails (e.g., the device does not check in after the scheduled time), the system automatically retries the reboot according to the policy's retry interval. If the maximum retry count is exceeded, escalation procedures are triggered, such as sending alerts to administrators.
Comprehensive Logging and Auditing:
• All reboot actions, including scheduled, executed, retried, and failed attempts, are logged in a central database. This provides a complete audit trail for compliance and troubleshooting.
Offline Device Handling:
• The system intelligently detects devices that are offline or have not checked in recently, skipping reboot commands and logging the event for review.
Policy Assignment Process
Policies can be assigned at multiple levels:
• Computer Level: Directly to individual devices.
• Location Level: To all devices at a specific site.
• Client Level: To all devices under a client organization.
• The system aggregates all applicable policies for each device and applies the most relevant one based on assignment hierarchy and schedule.
Group Management Process
• Devices are added to reboot groups with configurable dependencies and reboot order.
• When a group-dependent policy is triggered, the system processes each group member in order, applying delays as specified by the group policy.
• Offline or unresponsive group members are skipped, and the event is logged for administrative review.
Reboot Manager delivers robust, policy-driven reboot automation for complex, multi-OS environments, reducing manual effort, minimizing downtime, and ensuring compliance with organizational maintenance windows.
Reboot Manager is built for IT professionals, MSPs, and system administrators who need to efficiently manage reboot schedules without manual intervention.
