Thanks. Guess it'll just be easier to physically go to the console. Not that big of a deal in this case but I wanted to try it remotely just for future reference. That way if the need arose, I could be fairly confident I could do it remotely.
It is OS independent but one thing to think about is that many brand- name servers have option cards (Comaq has it standard) that allow remote login to an independent IP address through a seperate network connection and they allow machine reboot, console viewing, etc. The one that I have for an IBM server allows remote disk image mounting via a web based interface (via a java applet). You can mount remote floppies or CDs and then reboot with them as if they were local. I think most second generation remote cards from Dell, Compaq and IBM have this sort of functionality. Some are around $100 on eBay and they occupy a single PCI slot.
Best, d. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
