Is it possible to shutdown/reboot clients from waptconsole?

[klausade]

I'm looking for the ability to shutdown/reboot clients from waptconsole, is it possible?

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 : Tout sélectionner

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