Howto add simple reboot to contextmenu?

Howto add simple reboot to contextmenu?

Hi,

I'm missing basic functionality to do a simple reboot with rightclick on server. It is on the dasbhoard, but then you need to add extra info.

Please advise.

This is done with the shutdown add-on (using shutdown.exe) and this is why it's in the dashboard. What extra info do you have to enter? The window should save the last properties you've set.

When you execute the shutdown it asks if you want to shutdown/shutdown and restorart, warn users, reason for restart whereas I would like to rightclick, restart (or shutdown /r /t /0) in the contextmenu.

What you can do is create a macro script tool with the shutdown command. You will have Macro button to execute it when you have an opened connection

When I use the "shutdown /m \$host$ /r /t 0 /f" it does not recgnize the $host$ and it appears in the dashboard, don't see a macro button somewhere else(?)

Make sure to use $HOST$ in upper case. The button Macro/Script is in the ribbon and not in the context menu

Great, works indeed! Was not in ribbon menu but don't see any button in this ribbon.
Never mind, in dashboard is ok for me.

Note: can I launch a continuous ping in external window after this reboot?

I'm currently working on the continuous ping feature. This will be in the v9.0 for sure
