How can I reboot a IPS sensor.

Hello,

On our Ciso ASA we have the ASA-SSM-10 IPS module. It seem sto be in a state and the Cisco IPS Manager Express says it's not connected anymore. If I SSH/Telnet to it then I get the message:

Error: Cannot communicate with mainApp (getVersion). Please contact your system administrator.

Would you like to run cidDump?[no]:

I ran into this same error quite a bit. I would get the error, reload the sensor and then about 2 or 3 days later it would happen again. After upgrading to the sensor to version 7.0(1)this stopped occurring.
