A plug kicker by TCP/IP ???

Hobbes

I'm looking for something that will kick the power (kind of like hard rebooting a machine) by remote via TCP/IP.

Anyone know of anything? I was thinking maybe making one up using the COM port but I want it to be independant of the machine.

With the resource pack for NT you get RReboot.exe. Allows you to remote reboot an NT PC at least, once your own is on the domain somehow (And you have admin).

How could you post your password you nonce

Ah well I didn't get to see how original and inventive it was, 'tis a pity.

You can do anything on your PC remotely as if you're sitting in front of it, - including re-booting with pcAnywhere. (although if you're using it to reboot, make sure you put pcAnywhere in the startup group, and that it launches the host automatically on loading)

See http://www.symantec.com/pcanywhere/ for more info.

vnc?

restart.vbs in win2000 resource kit has the ability to shutdown, poweroff, logoff and restart a machine. It's a vbscript so code is included.

Gavin

as regards winnt 4. I think there is a bug in the code whereby, you send a certai type of packet to the machine it will restart. RTE use linux machines to do this when there NT servers kick the bucket. www.linux.ie have it.

My problem is where the machine has crashed and can no longer be responded too. Which happens with VNC.

I'll try RREBOOT. Now anyone know why IIS in NT4 option pack keeps crashing? >:/

Could be that there's a sh|tload of mtx.exe processes running... that'll mess IIS up a tad... do you have visual studio installed? AFAIK the only ways of killing off extra mtx's (cos they wont usually die with an end process call from taskman) is to reboot or debug them and close the debugger.

Give me an Apache server which properly supports ASP and connections to SQL and Access and I'll gladly switch

They aren't there.

First off the web site that was there the program now doesn't serve it. I get Incorrect function if they try to view the site, despite there being no code in the page (only HTML).

Second, the sample pages do show but incorrectly and if any page that has scripts on it is served it fails on the client end and I get a crash on the NT box.

bleeding annoying. Oh yea and the transaction server took up 100% resources on inetinfo. I shut that down.

I'd say its time to employ the old fist-desk interface

Ah...Good old percussive tuning....So much more fun when it's someone else's equipment....
