Reboot a Deadline Cloud worker after host configuration - Deadline Cloud

Reboot a Deadline Cloud worker after host configuration

The worker_reboot sample includes Linux and Windows scripts that reboot a Deadline Cloud worker after host configuration completes. Worker reboots are commonly required after driver installations or domain joins.

When the worker starts, host configuration scripts run during the STARTED state. The Linux script issues a standard reboot command and sleeps for 60 seconds while the host shuts down to prevent the worker agent from starting job processing. A rebooted marker file indicates that a reboot was issued. On the second start, the Deadline Cloud agent begins processing jobs.

The Windows script uses a marker file at C:\deadline-rebooted and issues Restart-Computer -Force if the marker file doesn't yet exist.
