Hey, everyone. This is Clay with Kobiton I’m gonna quickly show you how to reboot a device in the Kobiton platform. So if you have any private or local devices, you are able to reboot those devices from the Kobiton web interface. So you can simply come up here, go to settings, and then device management, and you’ll be able to see all your separate really servers or mac minis, in which devices are connected and see which devices are also live. And from here, you can simply click this restart button and it will restart or it will reboot the devices themselves. You can also see if the device is in an online state or utilizing state. So if someone has an automation script running or someone else is utilizing that device, if you do restart it, it’s gonna kick them out or end that test session. So if you’re trying to reboot devices periodically.
