Connect to host when available

I would really like to see a function called “Connect when avaiable”. This function is available in RDM of Devolutions. It basically does Ping a host and check the availability of the port 3389 (RDP) and connects, if the RDP port answers.

This function is extremely helpful, when patching servers. You reboot a server, start this feature and can activate the button “Connect after a failed scan”. This automatically open the RDP connections after a server reboot.

There is already an option to keep remotely disconnected tabs open:

If enabled, the tab stays open and it will try to reconnect to your machine until it’s available.

Let me know if this helps.

Regards,
Stefan

Hi Stefan

Thank you very much for your reply. I didn’t get that this option already exists. Just tested it.

Yes, it keeps the tab open, but does not try to reconnect. It simply stays open.

Do I have to configure another option to have the tab automatically reconnect?

Yes, I forgot that you need to enable a plugin setting for this as well:

Nice one :slight_smile: You just made me and my collueges as trial customers very happy.

We’ll soon to be licensed customers :+1:

Glad I could help! If you have any further questions, let us know.
