Powerscheduler with Server/Client system (1 Viewer)

[Juppe]

The ClientCheck.exe pings the clients and if it get an answer it starts ClientActive.exe and when it doesn't get answer anymore it kills ClientActive.exe.
The server do I start with the wolcmd from the first post.
Yes you dont need PsExec anymore.

Hi Juppe, I'm keen to try your program but i am getting a "corrupted" zip file message when i try to open clientcheck.zip after download, could you please upload it again.

Thanks

Hi mdsflyer, you should not open the file, just change .zip to .exe.

Hi Juppe,

i'll find your way very interesting (windows xp home) and will test your setup today. I have a multi-seat setup with tv server / client in one room and one mp client in another room.

Hi Juppe, sorry for the slow reply, i just didn;t have time to try this.

However today i did and it works great, using my laptop as client the server stays awake until the laptop is shutdown.

This is exactly what i was after and i really think that this should be incorporated into the powercheduler plugin as its function is so crucial to the client/server setup.

Great job!

Cheers
m

Thanks for the reply mdsflyer.
The part that wake the server from the client already exist as a plugin, but I think that it should start as soon as the client starts, so you dont have to start your self. I also think that the part that keeps the server alive should be in the powerscheduler plugin, I'm not that good at C#, but if anyone want's to put it in there, I can put the source code in here.
