How to reset computer automatically if freeze
Hello,
How to reset server if freeze? Automatically? Is it a BIOS option? The server should be completely automatic. No human interaction. Thank you. Angel |
you can't.
a frozen system is frozen. but maybe you tell us what the problem is (how/why does it freeze?) and we can fix that instead? http://xyproblem.info/ |
I found solution: the "watchdog" program.

There are some options available. One would be to have another machine on the same network monitor the server - maybe by pinging it periodically - and if it stops responding, to power cycle the server. There are some USB based relays which can be used to kill power to a power socket. This device would be plugged into the second computer over usb, which would be able to cut the power off to the server if it can't contact it any more. Of course, this is a bit brute force - and if it is the type of situation where it needs to be used again and again, maybe a more permanent fix needs to be found to whatever is causing the server to freeze.

Linux automation
The idea is a server to work without human interaction.
- if the server is hacked, it should be reset-to-factory-default. - if linux freeze, it should be auto-restarted. Angel |

you would also have to automate detection of a hacked server. how? Quote:
there seems to be a hardware switch approach, but i'm still for finding out WHY your server freezes. it seems to me you have a real problem here which you are not telling us about! fwiw, i've been running a server for -- i lost count, more than a year definitely, maybe 2 -- and i was NEVER forced to reboot it, it never froze, and also hasn't been hacked (to the best of my knowledge). that's what you should strive for, and not the band-aid strategy you are outlining here. |
