Restricts actions automatically called by rules to predefined thresholds. Each action can be restricted by port, minimum interval or an eligible time window. For example, a reboot may be called by a rule but be cancelled because a reboot has occurred within the past 3 hours. The reboot will not execute outside the cron-time mask, if one has been set.

Usage

The event action inside a rule can override restrictions with an optional force flag.

This example restricts cycling power to no more than every 3 hours. The -i interval parameter is given in seconds.

[admin@LantronixLM]# config restrict powerCycle -i 10800

This example restricts rebooting port 1/4 except on weekends:

[admin@LantronixLM]# config restrict reboot port1/4 -m "* * * * 0,6"
