I know, but this is not really an option for such a virtual company as
ours - I have never physically worked on any of my build hosts as they are
located in Sweden, while I work from Germany. So I am a bit hesitant to
have to rely on remote reboots. In addition to that it would complicate
our build process, as we currently build all binaries on all platforms in
parallel.

Which unfortunately is only available when you pay big bucks for it. I
have to check, if there are other ways :)

OK, good to know.

Thanks, will look into that as well!
