Is this expected behavior or is that what it does? I tried this with an RDP session open, and doesn’t look like DataMiner was ever stopped, Windows just proceeded to shutdown. Would be nice to have a way from Cube to gracefully shut down DataMiner and then reboot the machine. Particularly when patching the OS.
Hi,
That is expected behaviour. This is directly calling a reboot from the server, similar like a user would be logged in on Windows RDP and would be clicking on the start button and requesting a restart from there.
The problem is that this is a request that happens on DataMiner, but if DataMiner would first be completely stopped then what will call the reboot after that? On the other side if a reboot would have to wait until the DataMiner is completely stopped and DataMiner is stuck on some parts (reason why the reboot is called) then the reboot will never happen. To overcome these obstacles there would be some kind of “helper” process launched that runs next to DataMiner that requests DataMiner to stop and after x amount of time if the DMA is still not stopped will execute the reboot of the OS anyway.
Feature suggestions can be added here
Regards,
Great thanks Laurens, makes sense.
