Can the ISY restart or shutdown a XP PC? Similar to WOL?

[RichTJ99]

Hi,

 

I am using Homeseer to do periodic reboots & shutdowns on my system.

 

I use this command to restart my homeseer server:

 

c:\windows\system32\shutdown.exe -r -f -t 01

 

I use this to shutdown:

 

c:\windows\system32\shutdown.exe -s -f -t 01

 

Can the ISY send this signal out itself? It would be very helpful to me.

 

The WOL works perfect even from a complete shutdown. I was curious if I can use some sort of network signal to shut & restart an XP PC on my network?

 

Thanks,

Rich

Hi Rich,

 

Unfortunately ISY cannot shutdown your system unless you have a resident program running on your computer which listens for instructions from a network port (just like WOL). i.e. a program that listens to port 555 and when given your authorization and your command, it shuts down your computer.

 

With kind regards,

Michel
