    Default Running computers through network

    Alright, I am sick off setting my computers up manually to do tasks for me.


    Here is what I have:

    1 computer - Run by my father, way out of reach
    4 computers - In my room under my complete control, painful to go to each one
    1 computer - Quad core godess. Main computer. Sitting at all day long. Easy to set up.


    Alright, I want to run all computers over my network from my main computer.


    My series of questions:
    Can I boot a computer over my network (turn it on)
    Can I send it a command to start scar and RS to start autoing?
    Can I make it stop the script and shut down at a certain time?


    Basically I am sick of having to go to each computer and turn them on, wait for them to boot, start scar, open Runescape, start autoing, and move on to the next.

    Basically because I have broken my leg in a Dirtbike accident and I am stuck in a wheelchair or my computer chair at best. So I have to hobble over to each computer and do it all manually and painstakingly.

    So is there anyway to take over control of computers just from my Main computer?

    You can't boot it from a network because there's no power in the computer so that it would receive the command

    I'm not sure, I think this is possible, but I don't know how.

    The stop script thing you can implement in a script.

    Yup, if both your networkcard and motherboard support it. Google for Wake-On-Lan.
    Configure your BIOS to wake on lan, then use a program like WakeOnLan
    Can I send it a command to start scar and RS to start autoing?
    Not directly, but you can run a server to listen for commands, or use remote control (see below)
    Can I make it stop the script and shut down at a certain time?
    Yes, but you need to modify SRL a bit. Just do something in FindNormalRandoms like if (TimesUp) then terminatescript;

    VNC, I use UltraVNC myself, but you can use TinyVNC or RealVNC too.
    Note: I never tested WakeOnLan or something like that, as it doesn't work with a wlan (well maybe it does, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't).
    I made a new script, check it out!.

    I think you cannot turn on the computers, but I am pretty sure that you can set up the other computers by Start > Run > DDESHARE, and ther select computer etc.. There was some weird tut at sythe..

    www.logmein.com or something, there was a tut of it somewhere, you need to download it and run it on one pc, log in to the website from other pc and you can remote control it

    for VNC, Windows Xp has a built-in VNC. It is easy to configure, I use it all times to check my other computer ^_^.

    I think it is called Remote Desktop. A quick Google search and you will find something.
