Choose the correct station

Open More → Recovery & startup, then select the station. Only installed recovery targets can be configured. Read current state, restart cooldown and the hourly restart budget.

Configure application recovery

For a supported target, choose restart-on-exit and login startup independently. Use a cooldown and a small restart budget to avoid a crash loop. Verify the setting through the agent after saving it.

Treat machine reboot separately

Automatic machine reboot is optional and disabled by default. A Mac may require a local unlock after reboot before its applications can run. Enable it only after reviewing that station’s boot and unlock requirements.

Interface screenshots with fabricated figures are labeled sample data. Your available actions depend on agent capabilities, installed recipes, workspace permissions and module entitlements.
