[users@httpd] Remote reboot?
Greetings,
Is there a way to remote reboot an apache server? I'm using Apache 2.x
on winxp which shouldn't make any difference. I use my server on a
non-monitor box (access everything over the network/intranet) and would
like to be able to remotely reboot/restart apache without having to
physically be at the apache box.
Thanks
Jason

See? We interpreted the original question differently... to you the
keyword was "reboot", to me the keyword was "server"... ;-)
Now we're into semantics.... what is "the apache server"? If the goal is
to restart "The apache server" that question has to be answered first...
Apparenntly, to you, the Apache server is the hardware, to me it is the
httpd application software.
Personally I'd NEVER reboot the hardware just to restart one application
unless it was required for some reason....
The other way/command to restart Apache is (as root)...
apachectl restart

The first line of his question was, "Is there a way to remote reboot an

Holy Moly! You don't need to reboot the entire machine just to restart
the Apache server..... just restart the Apache server by itself....
service httpd restart

You could install sshd and then ssh into the box remotely and issue the
'shutdown -r now' command, just as with unix. Cygwin is one (free) way
to accomplish this, I'm sure there are others. I'm pretty sure MS's
terminal services provides something similar, but I think MS only
includes it with the server versions of its OSs.

Sorry... I corrected a typo above... should be
service httpd restart

I do that sort of thing all the time...
from my remote machine.... ssh root@host
then once I'm logged in.... service nttpd restart
logout
Done. :-)
