Information collecting apparatus, rebooting method, program, and remote maintenance system

摘要

To execute a rebooting process as necessary without missing a count number, whether a locally-connected apparatus is included in apparatuses as monitoring targets or not is discriminated. If it is determined that the locally-connected apparatus is included in apparatuses as monitoring targets, the rebooting process is not executed. If it is determined that the locally-connected apparatus is not included in apparatuses as monitoring targets, the rebooting process is executed.
