Basic Usage

All I want to do is reboot my Linode!

On the detail screen for a Linode is an indicator of the Linode's current status, with a tiny power symbol. Tapping that status will bring up a menu of things to do, depending on what state the Linode is currently in.

If the Linode has more than one configuration, you will be able to choose which one to boot.

Can a restricted user account use the application?

Yes. Linode Manager for iPhone respects all grants set up on an account, and will restrict operations just like the Linode Manager does — including visibility of Linodes and domains.

Do I need an API key?

No. Although one can be entered, Linode Manager for iPhone works well using just a username and password by retrieving the API key for you. If a user is currently logged in and the API key is changed in the Linode Manager, however, Linode Manager for iPhone will need to be logged out and back in as it will continue to use the old key.
