Enabled if the selected station has an “Idle” or “Failed” status in the “installed applications” area. When pressed, that host’s platform daemon immediately starts that station. Text in the “station output” area is cleared, and output messages begin with the new startup of that station.

Enabled if the selected station has a “Running” status in the “installed applications” area. When pressed, a popup confirmation appears. If you confirm, the host’s platform daemon shuts the station down gracefully (saving configuration to its config.bog file, and potentially saving history data).

Enabled if the selected station has a “Running” status in the “installed applications” area. When pressed, a popup confirmation dialog appears. If you confirm, the host’s platform daemon shuts the station down gracefully, then restarts it.

Always enabled. When pressed, a popup confirmation dialog appears. If you confirm, the selected host is rebooted. This is considered a drastic action. For details, see “Reboot”.

Enabled only if the selected station has a status of “Starting”, “Stopping”, or “Running” the “installed applications” area. When pressed, a popup confirmation dialog appears. If you confirm, the host’s platform daemon terminates the station process immediately.

Always use Stop instead of Kill, unless unavailable (stuck for a long time as either “Starting” or “Stopping”). Unlike a station stop, a station kill does not cause the station to save its database (config.bog), histories or alarms, nor does it update the “station output” area.

Enabled only if the station has a “Running” status in the “installed applications” area. When pressed, the host’s platform daemon has the station send a VM thread dump to its station output.

Enabled only if the station has a “Running” status in the “installed applications” area. When pressed, the host’s platform daemon has the station locally save its configuration to config.bog.

Enabled regardless of station status. When pressed, Workbench parses the station’s config.bog file and the host’s platform.bog file, looking for module references. Workbench then checks to see if those modules (and any other software upon which they depend) are installed. Any missing software is listed in a popup dialog, and if available in your Workbench installation, the dialog offers to install the missing software into the remote host.

Only modules (or versions of modules) needed by the station are installed that do not require commissioning. If the station needs modules that require commissioning, meaning an upgrade of core Niagara software, those modules are not copied.
