Hi,
This feature is quite easy to implement... but until now there has been an internal debate about the potential misuse of this.

At least we should add a flag in wapt-get.ini to disable it explicitly on hosts.where it not advisable to allow it (servers...)
and a popup should be displayed to logged in users of the machine to postpone the shutdown/reboot.

I believe it's with https://wapt.tranquil.it/wapt/nightly/a ... ot_machine

And how would the call to reboot in a script?

Hi,

It seems this functionality is implemented now (button in the right-click menu) but not operational.

At least, for a configuration with machines not in a domain.

Is this normal?

disabled by default on the client

If you want to enable oit, you must set in<wapt> \wapt-get.ini

Code: Select all

[global]
...
allow_remote_reboot=1
allow_remote_shutdown=1
