You may shutdown citects remotely by using
the Msg cicode functions. You can send a message to an I/O Server
which when can broadcast it to all its clients telling them to
shutdown. This will cause all Citects on the network to shutdown.
Another way to would be to set a bit in a DISK PLC which each
clients checks once per minute. When the Citect clients sees the
bit set it will shutdown.
To make Citect automatically startup again you should make
Citect into the Windows shell and modify the AUTOEXEC.BAT file so
that when Windows exits the AUTOEXEC.BAT file will restart Windows
again. See Q1084 on how to make Citect
into the Windows Shell and the modifications for the AUTOEXEC.BAT
file.
The network restart will be implemented as a standard feature in
future Citect Versions.
