This is a Rackspace tool to identify Cloud Servers that have a scheduled automated reboot window. Cloud Servers may have a scheduled reboot in the case of routine or critical system maintenance.
The tool source is OS independent (written in Go) and binaries are available for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux.

After you download the binary, place it anywhere on your ${PATH} (or %PATH%) and rename it to cs-reboot-info. On Mac or Linux, you'll also need to chmod +x cs-reboot-info to make it executable.
Usage:
cs-reboot-info [--csv] username apikeyusername and apikey are required arguments, and are the same credentials you normally use with the Rackspace Cloud API.
--csv: Optional, used to specify that you also want the results stored in a CSV file titled cs-reboot-info.csv in the same directory as the tool.

Then run:
# Install godep to manage dependencies
go get github.com/tools/godep
go get github.com/rackerlabs/cs-reboot-info
cd ${GOPATH}/src/github.com/rackerlabs/cs-reboot-info
# Build and install the binary to ${GOPATH}/bin
godep go install .
# OR: cross-compile to build binaries for everything and compute their checksums to bin/.
# If script/cross dies, make sure you have Make (build-essential equivalent) installed.

script/checksumcs-reboot-info queries the Rackspace Cloud Servers API in all regions your account has access to, both First and Next Generation. It identifies any Cloud Servers with a metadata key named "rax:reboot_window". This key carries a value that shows the start and end times of the scheduled reboot window for the Cloud Server.
The format of the metadata key is:
| Key | Value (example) |
|-------------------|-------------------------------------------|
| rax:reboot_window | 2014-01-28T00:00:00Z;2014-01-28T03:00:00Z |
The value is a semi-colon separated time range, in UTC format.
The tool outputs a list of Cloud Servers that have scheduled reboot windows in a tabular format. Results can optionally be saved to a CSV file.
Note: Only Cloud Servers with a scheduled reboot window will be listed. If a Cloud Server is not listed, no automated reboots are scheduled for it.
