Add task to automatically hard-reboot a server #18

We now have two servers in two different places with two different procedures for a hard reboot:

  • The bytemark server has a console that can be ssh'd into to reboot (but it is not a full shell)
  • The barnyard server is using the Xen hypervisor and can be rebooted from that

We should have a task that takes a server to reboot and then reboots it using the correct procedure on the correct supervising machine.

The correct way to force-reboot the Xen vm if it is not responding is:

sudo /usr/lib/xen-4.4/bin/xl destroy cpantesters1.barnyard.co.uk
sudo /usr/lib/xen-4.4/bin/xl create /etc/xen/cpantesters1.barnyard.co.uk

add hard reboot tasks

These tasks will hard-reboot a server when it is unresponsive. Use these
tasks when the machine is not responding to SSH.
