restart cRIO with command line

[demo66]

Hi!

Does anybody know if there is a option to restart a cRIO device over a command line?

regards,

demo66

Hey demo66,

"shutdown -r \\123.456.789.000" should work, where 123.456.789.000 represents the IP of your cRIO.

BR, Christian

Demo66,

restarting an RT device from National Instruments is established by a UDP or TCP/IP connection (depending on remote subnet) with a specific set of parameters.
Therefore, a simple command line input is not working.
The suggestion Christian made is only working for Windows based systems (with the -m argument) where you have appropriate access rights.

A simple workaround would be to create a small LabVIEW executable which is able to process command line parameters.
In this case the executable contains the function "RT reboot controller.vi".
Please find attached an example in LabVIEW 8.5.

To get it run appropriately create an executable of the VI and use one of the following command line strings to restart the RT system:
RT system is on the local subnet: RestartRTTarget.exe -- 00FF00FF00FF
RT system is on a remote subnet: RestartRTTarget.exe -- 00FF00FF00FF 100.100.100.100

"00FF00FF00FF" represents the MAC address of the RT system
"100.100.100.100" represents the IP address of the RT system


Thanks,
ThSa

Thank you ThSa and Christian!

I builded an executable VI of the RestartRTTarget.vi with a "quit labview"-block that the app shut down after execution.
