Scheduled Restarts
Schedule regular restarts for your devices
Scheduled Restarts provide automated device reboot capability on a defined schedule, addressing performance degradation that can accumulate from hardware limitations, operating system memory leaks, or long-running application state issues. This feature enables proactive maintenance without requiring manual intervention or on-site access.
Restart Scheduling Architecture
Device restarts can be triggered manually for immediate effect or configured to occur automatically on a recurring schedule. Manual restarts provide on-demand device reset capability for troubleshooting or immediate maintenance needs.
Scheduled Restart Configuration
Scheduled restarts operate on a daily recurrence pattern with configurable time windows. Time window configuration determines when devices execute their restart cycle, enabling coordination with operational schedules to minimize content display disruption.
Restart timing should align with periods of minimal audience impact—typically overnight hours or during facility closure. The restart operation takes 30-60 seconds for most devices, during which time screens display a loading state before resuming normal content playback.
Off-hours scheduling (e.g., 2:00-4:00 AM) ensures restarts occur when audiences are absent and content delivery interruptions carry minimal operational impact.
Scheduled Restart Use Cases
TelemetryOS is designed for reliability, though periodic restarts benefit specific scenarios:
✅ Hardware Issues – Devices experiencing performance slowdowns or instability.
✅ OS Performance Degradation – Memory leaks or resource buildup over time requiring reboot.
✅ Proactive Maintenance – Prevention of potential system slowdowns or app crashes.
Important Considerations
Scheduled Restarts should be used only when necessary.
TelemetryOS's system is built for continuous operation—most devices do not require frequent restarts.
Performance monitoring before feature enablement determines whether restart scheduling is needed.
Scheduled Restarts is one of multiple features ensuring seamless digital signage operation.
