A thought for Peppery. A command/batch file can be automated in Windows using the "Scheduled Tasks" application.

I decided to write yet another reboot script, a bit slicker than the original one and can also be conditional based on wether another IP/host is reachable, plus I needed something that works from Windows.
First of all it requires the Toolsack baseline components to be installed from here:
http://www.toolsack.com/download/
The script itself works by passing of parameters, so a typical command line would look like this:
cscript reboot.vbs 86.11.93.131 routerpassword
and a conditional command line would look like this:
cscript reboot.vbs 86.11.93.131 routerpassword 192.168.1.254
The 3rd argument will be tested for a ping response, if none is received then a reboot will be executed. This is useful for testing if a VPN link is down and then using a reboot to establish the connection again.
Here is the code, save it as reboot.vbs:
I am thinking of writing another script which will automatically back up the configs of many routers as well. I will probably post up a finished version on my blog, but this seems to work very well.
I am running it on a schedule to ensure continued VPN connectivity.

set args=wscript.arguments
If wscript.arguments.count=2 then
IP=args.item(0)
Password=args.item(1)
call reboot(IP,Password)
elseif wscript.arguments.count=3 then
IP=args.item(0)
Password=args.item(1)
TestIP=args.item(2)
if ping(TestIP)=False then
call reboot(IP,Password)
end if
else
wscript.echo "Invalid number of arguments specified"
wscript.echo "Please specify router IP address & password and optional test IP"
end if
sub reboot(IP, Password)
set s = CreateObject("Toolsack.Socket")
s.Connect IP, 23
s.Write Password & vbCrLf
s.write "sys reboot" & vbcrlf
s.write "quit" & vbcrlf
end sub
Function Ping(strHost)
dim objPing, objRetStatus
set objPing = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}").ExecQuery _
("select * from Win32_PingStatus where address = '" & strHost & "'")
for each objRetStatus in objPing
if IsNull(objRetStatus.StatusCode) or objRetStatus.StatusCode<>0 then
Ping = False
else
Ping = True
end if
next
End Function

That's rather nice I don't need your actual script but your example gives me all sorts of other dastardly ideas. Thanks.

following on from this and going back to my first set of questions:
is there any documentation available on the CLI (not just the command list spreadsheet that;s on draytek.com.au ), e.g. for setting up syslog and SNMP, etc?

Nice one Paul!
Just tried out your conditional telnet script and it works like a charm!
Cheers for that!
BTW, where can I find your blog?

Glad you are still finding it useful!

I was thinking of adding this script to the blog actually, I think its quite a neat bit of code.
