machine restart - event log comment

Hi there,

Would be great if we could leave an event log comment in the windows event log for the machine restarts initiated via the deadline launcher - restartmachine commands. This helps us troubleshoot issues with machines.

I did a bit of reading, and to support this, we’d likely have to have our client installer register a new Event Source and then the Launcher could use this to write to the event log. The Event Source is required to write the log, and our installer would have to do it because admin privileges are required.

We can add this to the wishlist. In the meantime, could you use the notification emails that can be configured for power management?

Thanks Ryan! The mails might work to some degree, but it is an extra step (having to cross check dates of restarts with the emails, that might not have been sent to the particular IT person etc.). Ill make sure they are aware of that though.
