Automated restart for 5 IPOs 7

[jbra]

this could save me 5-10 minutes a week, if I could figure something out...

We have 5 IPOs. Each Friday marketing has us schedule a reboot for Friday after close to change out the hold music.

I'd like to write a batch file that would schedule each of the IPOs to reboot at 9pm.

Ideas on how something like this might be accomplished?

Thanks!

 

[bdelmar]

What type of IPO and what version are you on?

Is the hold music an external device or an internal wav file.

 

[jbra]

End of day on a Friday will make you forget those important details

IPO500 firmware 4.2(17) using Interal wav files.

The idea is Marketing puts the HoldMusic.wav file in the TFTP directory - then we set the reboot for later that night.

Thanks!

Go to Wallmart and buy a power socket with a timer.

Schedule this in MS scheduler:

reboot.bat
tftp -i 192.168.42.1 get "nasystem/reboot/00e007004e65/$t%$'~ q//"

the ip address is the ip address of the ipo, 00e007004e65 is the MAC address of the ipo, $t%$'~ q/ is the password of the ipoffice ( in this case "password")

If you have changed the systems password then connect a deltaserver to the ipo and search the registry of the pc for deltaserver entries, there you can find the new coded password.

or just use external music on hold, so you don't need to reboot.

See what my brain does when it's not thinking about phones.

I can't think why I'd ever need that piece of information - but a * for intrigrant anyway!

I have always wished that my computer would be as easy to use as my telephone.
My wish has come true. I no longer know how to use my telephone.

useless information for about 364.9 days of the year but then you need it to make your life easier one day and there it is.
I am wondering how you get to these little treasures of knowledge intrigrant

[jbra]

awesome. Thanks!

 

[intrigrant]

I have a lot more of that "useless" information but once in a while it can become usefull so i keep it on my pc and only remeber i have the info stored somewhere

 

[Westi]

like a teacher of mine once said, you don't need to remember everything, you just need to remember where to get thi information you need.
In that case it is YOUas a source of information

That's brilliant. Another * from me ;o)

Don't ask me, I didn't design it.

 

[CarGoSki]

tftp -i 192.168.42.1 get "nasystem/rebootwhenfree/00e007004e65/$t%$'~ q//"

also works

star for you

 

[Westi]

OK I couldn't resist and made a batch file ran it and
nothing happened, it just created a new file in the same directory the batch file runs in but the system doesn't reboot.
Tried it with two separate systems (406 and 500 both running 5.0.15) and again
nothing.
Maybe I am forgetting something really basic, got the MAC address and the IP address correct and verified both is correct.
:-(
I almost suspect that the R5.0 is not working with this command any more, let me know if I am wrong about that please.

$t%$'~ q//

There is a space in there. Is there a space in yours? v5 works. If you turn on TFTP in Monitor and issue the commands you should see them echoed. BTW you shouldn't have to use -i.

 

[Westi]

got the space, tried without the -i and with it

tftp 192.168.100.180 get "nasystem/reboot/00e007039197/$t%$'~ q//"

that's my exact batch file
also tried the
tftp 192.168.100.180 get "nasystem/rebootwhenfree/00e007039197/$t%$'~ q//"

both a NO GO

Then off she goes..reboot. What DOD messages do you get and doyou have any tftp messages in Monitor

 

[CarGoSki]

DOD = DOS

works fime for me too on IPO 5.0.14, i tested before posting.... Are you sure you use the default password and no special security set?

I wrote a application a long time ago ( 2004 )which does the same, i posted it here:

http://intrigrant.atspace.com/IPOBackup.zip.doc

change the doc in zip, it is double zipped otherwise the fileserver did not accepted it

It asks for ip address, password and were to store the .cfg file
