restarting all or selected robots?

[Stiofan Conlon]

Hi all,

I have edited user tags on the controller probe via the API and will now need to restart the robot to have the change take effect ( I think)
Is there a smart way to restart robots in bulk? 

Thanks!

use the controller probe call back, _stop
to restart the robots.

example:
POST /rest/probe/chris-dev/primaryhub/nb-1538/controller/callback/_stop

postman seems to be the favorite with development

I am looking at the Chrome add-in as suggested by David M.

 

What I have enjoyed using up to now is the free version of Insomnia

I get the following form the call -

I/O error on nim session (C) com.nimsoft.nimbus.NimNamedClientSession(Socket[addr=/1<SCRUB>,port=48000,localport=59773])

Have you come across this before? 

Thanks!

Get the full list of all the robots you need to restart in the /domain/hub/robot list format.
You can do this from within IM, Tools > Find all robots. 
Export to excel.
Then remove all columns except the robot address one. Add the following in the column before the robot address column: 

"pu -u administrator -p password "  

Next column is the robot address: 

/domain/hub/robot1

Then in the column after the robot address put: 

" _restart"

Take note of the spaces.
Then copy this all out to say notepadd++, get rid of the tabs (Ctrl+H) and then you can run from your primary hub's \Nimsoft\bin directory via administrative cmd line.
The full command would be:
pu -u administrator -p password /domain/hub/robot01 _restart

If it works on one then you can just copy/paste all of them into the command line and be done with it. Make sure you don't restart the hub's till last or 1st.
