This is a very good point. I'll check out the PowerKey thing.
Thanks,

My preference on things such as this is to use a power controller and
to toggle power to the router instead of trying to log into it and
telling it to reset. If it is hosed, logging in might not work but
power cycling it always works IF it is wedged and not defective.
I've used the PowerKey from sophisticated circuits and it is
applescriptable and easy to use. There are tons of other power control
devices out there, search for "network power switch" to get
alternates.

Hi all.
I have, at my workplace, an OS X machine that collects various bits
of data from various places on the web at preset times (I have rev
apps that are started as cron jobs that do the work). From time to
time, the router drops the internet connection and generally seems to
get it's little knickers in a twist. Resetting the router sorts it
out, and I've created an ugly Rev/Applescript/QuicKeys combo that
will reset the router if I'm not physically present, and, of course,
it only seems to happen when I'm not there....
I was away for a month just recently, and it all went wrong after
about two weeks, so until I got back to reset things, the data was
not collected. I can't help feeling that a simpler, probably Rev only
solution would be more reliable, but I can't figure out how to get
Rev to login to the router and press the right HTML buttons to do it.
Has anyone here had similar experiences and found a solution?
This is a Belkin adsl modem/router box, that has the usual HTML based
control interface.
Thanks for any help,
Mark Smith
