taaskäivituvus
Taaskäivituvus is an Estonian term that translates literally into English as “restartability” or “rebootability”. It describes the ability of a computer system, software application, or hardware component to return to a known good state after a failure or shutdown by restarting. The concept is central to reliability engineering, system administration and disaster recovery planning. In practice taaskäivituvus involves designing components that can recover from crashes, power outages, or configuration errors by reinitialising themselves without external prompt, preserving user data and minimising downtime.
In operating systems taaskäivituvus is implemented through crash‑dump mechanisms, journaling file systems, and automatic reboot scripts.
Hardware manufacturers incorporate taaskäivituvus into embedded systems. Devices such as routers, industrial controllers and IoT modules
The need for taaskäivituvus grew with the increasing reliance on networked services. Modern IT infrastructures now
