Automic Workload Automation

I'm looking for a way to restart the atomic server using the automation engine during our monthly windows server shutdown. The automation engine should recover and start again without human interaction. 

On which OS is you AE system running?

in case of WIN you can start the SMGR WIN- Service automatically - this would start AE automatically...

Hi - Malik opened this ticket for me when I sent a request to the Support Team. The system is running on a Windows sever. I pulled some script from the forums that can toggle the system off, wait x minutes, and toggle the system back on (equivalent to Client Stop and Client Go). It keeps running because it was initiated before the client stops, and the database is still going. What I don't know how to do (or if it's even possible or a good idea) is how to toggle the system off, **then somehow send a command to restart the app server where the Automation Engine is running**, do the wait and start the client back up. We restart Windows boxes all the time through Automic, but it's always been in a separate job. So obviously I can't run a new job with the client already shut down. I'm not sure how to embed it into the job itself.

Here is a thread that points in the same direction:

The tricky part is the "fulfilling" the correct order
* bringing down Automation engine services
* rebooting the Server

I would do that with an SMGR command within a WIN Job and afterwards reboot the server

precondition: SMGR (And AE) must start automatically at WIN server start

Hm, maybe I'm missing something. I still don't see how to shut down the server after I have stopped the client. Once it reboots, everything should recover without incident. But I don't know how to reboot the server when Automic is already stopped.
