The hardware to do it cost money, thats the best reason I can comeup with!
A power strip is jsut a few bucks, but a remote reboot power device like the ones we use, 30amps 16 port, power readings, etc, cost $600-800 depending on where you get them, x the number of racks/servers .

Why do you have a remote reboot device, why can't you just use ssh & type "shutdown -r now" ?
ssh isnt always working

oh, this is for a hard-core, frozen up server type of reboot. Gotcha![]()

DISCLAIMER Any resemblance between the views expressed above and those of the owners and operators of this system is purely coincidental. Any resemblance between these views and my own are non-deterministic. The existence of Vin DSL is questionable. The existence of views in the absence of anyone to hold them is problematic. The existence of the reader is left as an exercise in the second-order coefficient.
Eh.. this stuff is about dedicated and colocated boxes, Vin. (Though I know you'd like to be able to reboot "your" server.) If they freeze up, it's generally not JagPC's affair.
Is it an extra here though, or is it included with a dedicated / colocated box? I couldn't find anything about it either way (on the servers & add-ons pages)..

However not sure if it's a jag support guy/gal running to the server and press a button or if theres a remote reboot thingy, but I do guess on the last scenario![]()
