MICROS 3700 Reboot

Hello,

We had our MICROS 3700 have a meltdown yesterday and got a hold of support and they were aghast that it has been up for 30 days! It would have been nice if our dealer would have told us that it should be rebooted once a week. We have had the system for a year and a half. I find it ridiculous that this has to be done but I digress. As far as I understand, the terminals should be rebooted as well. I can do our terminals (standard Windows PCs) via many different routes but the KDS systems are a different story. Is the reboot command that one can find on the MICROS control panel available via command line too? If it is, then this all is a non issue.
 
Well I found this script in two year old post on here. I will reboot the server.

@echo off
D:\MICROS\Res\Pos\Bin\CLControl.exe /SYSTEM IDLE
C:\Windows\System32\shutdown.exe /r /t 01 /d p:1:1

My Google foo just decided to work and I found that remote reboot is available.

MICROS RES RemoteReboot version 4.1
usage: RemoteReboot [/?] [-h] [/allclients] [<nodenames>]+

/? or -h prints this help message.

/allclients reboots all configured clients. Will not reboot the server.

Specifying one or more computer nodenames on the command line will cause
a message to be sent to reboot only those client workstations


So this should work:
@echo off
D:\MICROS\Common\Bin\RemoteReboot.exe /allclients
 
Pretty much every Micros vendor sets the system up with an autosequnce to do the reboot, so this is on your dealer. Every dealer or office we've ever worked with went about it either through a scheduled task or auto sequence, so their being aghast it hadn't been reboot in a month is basically a sign they didn't setup their stuff correctly.

Also, word of warning, the CLControl.exe /SYSTEM IDLE will time out on some larger databases before the shutdown actually completes, which means that your reboot might happen while its still shutting off. This tends to be a not good thing because the DB file won't be done being written to, and can cause data corruption. CLControl does have a way to check the status; you might want to throw some code in to check the status and wait until it shows IDLE.
 
Thank you Moregelen! I too feel the dealer failed. Pretty ridiculous.

We will code and make sure the DB status says IDLE. Thanks for the heads up.
 
See if the dealer installed a folded called "Micros Support Files" or "Support Files" In that folder should be a "Programs_Utilities" folder. If they did install the support files you should find the Micros coded reboot script and an installer in that folder in a folder called "Autoreboot
 
Wildbar- no such luck. I have the media, I think, Res 5.4 mr1, but do not see it on there.
 
Is exit code the current status?
