Before leaving home on a visit to Italy (where I am now)
Welcome to Italy ;)
I noticed that shorewall did not print out its usual messages,
Which messages?
but foolishly did not check what caused this.
Now I can ping the machine,
If you can ping the machine so I guess it's up and
running.
but cannot ssh into it (I chose a strange port)
or access its web-server.
If you got that port reachable from the internet, but you
don't
remember the ssh port number you used, you could scan your IP to
discover it using, for example, nmap.
My question is: given that I can ping the machine,
is there any way I can re-boot it remotely,
or even just re-start shorewall?
No, using ping only :-)
Cheers
