Restarting a device in same network using SSH
#1
Hello,

I have a situation where I can not access a device in a network anymore and I need to restart it. The client lives pretty far and I need to restart the device because otherwise he's visualisation won't work so I need to do this ASAP from a remote connection. I think I can do it via SSH, but how should I do it? Maybe there is a way to send SSH commands via LM? 

Thank You.

It's possible to send SSH commands from LM but for that you would need a key-based authentication to work on the other device, password-based auth won't work. Another solution is to add a relay to physically restart the device.

Can you explain what kind of device is this? Does the web server there stop working or something? If so you can create a monitoring script to check if device is running or not.
