Abstract
An example system may include a first device connected over respective communications interfaces to a plurality of second devices. The first device may establish respective remote terminals between the first device and one or more second devices. Establishing the respective remote terminals may indicate that the devices are in an online state. The first device may periodically update respective heartbeat files on the second devices. A respective second device may detect that a pre-determined time period has elapsed since the heartbeat file was updated. The respective second device may determine that a respective remote terminal between the first device and the respective second device has been terminated. Determining that the remote terminal has been terminated may indicate that the device is in an offline state. The respective second device may reset itself so as to transition the respective second device from the offline state to the online state.
