Shutdown using REST API?

Tom-

I did not find any Node id to shutdown the UTM via REST API. As my UPS is not supported I want to use REST API to shutdown the UTM in case of power fail.

    Hi, Tommy, and welcome to the UTM Community!

    I could be wrong, but I don't think the REST API is supported outside of virtual UTMs in the Amazon Cloud.

    Cheers - Bob

    Hi Bob,

    thats not correct. REST API is supported on any ASG, see here:

    Hi Tommy,

    I think Azron has an answer for you here. I would recommend you to loop support before tweaking the possibilities from the backend.

    Thanks

    Hi Tommy and welcome,

     

    the RESTful API is avilable on all flavors of the UTM; also outside of AWS.

     

    Regarding your question: the API is meant to be used for configuration purposes only at the moment. That's the reason why there is no shutdown command available. Do you see that use case you've described as a common scenario?

    i use ssh to shutdown my home UTM from script.

    (plink is a tool similar to putty...)

    c:\.....\plink.exe -v -ssh loginuser@astaro.mydomain.local -pw mypassword -m "c:\program files\UNIX_commands.txt"

    content of c:\program files\UNIX_commands.txt:

    sudo /sbin/shutdown -h now


    to make this working, shutdown must make be usable without sudo password.
