Hello,
I am using cygwin v1.5.9 on Win2k3 standard edition servers. sshd service is installed and working. I can ssh as a local user or user in the active directory domain. All privileges appear to be as expected. I want to be able to use ssh to remotely reboot a server.
ssh -l root <servername> /usr/bin/reboot -f -r now
Where:
<servername> is the name of the server I want to reboot
root is the username in the active directory domain that has local administrator privileges on the server
When I execute the ssh command to reboot the server, it doesn't seem to do anything. However, if I open a remote desktop session (as root) on the desired server and execute the same command, the server reboots as expected. Am I missing something?
Thanks,
Matt Berney
