Can't imagine not trying to login to the server and doing some investigation before just doing a blind reboot

I agree with parent, and prefer this http://fitztrev.github.io/shuttle/

Best of both worlds (and works with all hosts) only thing you lose is the 1 click reboot/shutdown

I use shuttle (all of our infrastructure is AWS); excellent recommendation.

And you would be surprised how often blind reboots happen (sometimes you don't get to make the call).

Hopefully you aren't taking calls from the Sales Guy telling you to reboot blind https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8_Kfjo3VjU :P

Classic!

I use shuttle as well as sshpass so I don't have to enter in the passwords (too many to remember).
