We have 1,000 servers having different manufacturer and a mix of Solaris and Linux. They go down frequently and we end up rebooting by logging in to the Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM).

I want to automate this by having a script which reboots a host once it goes non-pingable.

So is a shell/Perl script to get into the ILOM and console of a server possible?

What can be my approach?

You might want to take a look at the expect utility. It can use used to automate scripts where input is required.

Personally, I'd be trying to understand why the systems crash so frequently that this is needed and solving the real problem.
