[Klug-general] rebooting remote server

[Peter Childs]

Its interesting how much trouble private and public keys can cause. Playing
round with puppet and mcollective to distribute ssh keys certaintly makes
for an interesting task.

We have a useful script that checks if the computer is running windows or
linux remotely via snmp then ssh in and reboots it if its running the wrong
one. After first telling it which to boot via tftp. Cron Switches to linux,
then windows and then back to linux every night. I've got no idea what the
mice think when 200 machines reboot at once in the middle of the night and
start running updates.
