AutoBoot

AutoBoot is a Control Panel/System extension which will reboot (restart) you Macintosh after a System Error ('bomb') or a Freeze-Up has occurred. This comes in handy when your Macintosh must be 'on-line' at all times, even when it is left unattended for long periods of time.

For instance, people using Timbuktu (a package which allows you to operate a Mac remotely by modem) complained that they had to drive down to the location of the Mac to reboot it after a system crash. Very nice if the Mac is located at the other side of town!

Other uses can be found for file servers, http servers, systems that carry a BBS, systems with a FAX modem, systems which have file sharing turned on … . AutoBoot allows maximal availability of these Macs, even in the presence of System crashes or Freeze-Ups.
