Hey! So I'm here with another question:
Is there any way to turn off a remote pc that's not by using
I just want to turn off the server computer at night from my laptop. Is it possible to make the program check for pings and then shutdown? Or is there an easier way? (Maybe if I'm not on the local network send over a "signal"(?) to the pc so that it'll shut down..?)Code:shutdown /s /m \\computer name etc...
Thanks again!
EDIT:
Read 3rd post for a brief explanation.
You can't do this in VB. Maybe if you are connected to the labtop via USB?
So, wait, I think I wasn't clear. LoL (My bad).
I just want to turn off the desktop computer from my laptop; how can i do this? (Woah, much better than the first post). Both computer are in a local network (my house, wireless conection).
Or maybe a server-client connection?
Which way should I go?
Server-Client. Controlling a computer remotely is easy, but I don't think you can shut it down remotely. Because that is like, if you are controlling a pc from your labtop, someone unplugs the power to the pc you are controlling. This applies to restarting, and hibernating.Quote:

Tell that to my high school media center supervisors, whos' PC I would shut down remotely with a network security program all the time.Quote:
