You'll notice where I said "the task is to find which script
to run". But "xxx restart" or "xxx stop; xxx start" is still
likely the way to go.

How exactly are the Windoes files made available on the Linux
Machines?

One other "cheap workaround" might be to change your setup
so the Linux files are __exported to__ the Windows boxes
then the Windows machine writes data to what it sees as a
"share" then at least when Windows hangs Linux can still access
the files.

Y are gettint to the pint where you might just want to set up one
"file server" on a Linux machine to export a data directory
using both NFT and SMB so all 2,000 or so of your computers can
see al the files.  People might argue that "putting all the eggs
in one basket" is not the right way  to go but using multiple
file servers means multiple systems have to work.  You know
probability theory ... with multiple machine your _multiply_
the chance of one breaking to compute the change of a system
failure.  Better to multiply by 1.0

Also with only one file server you can better afford tricks like RAID
and mirrord disks so you can continue working through a hardware
failure.  Yes, amazingly you _can_ pull the IDE data cable off a
working system disk and not crash.
