This video - http://www.metacafe.com/watch/1122288/how_to_remotely_shutdown_your_computer_with_a_cell_phone/ - reminded me of something easy.

Make outlook open automatically. Send email via phone to outlook. Outlook runs a rule on it and runs a program that can sleep the PC.

This will be fun to try :)

No I have router that has port 7 forwarded. Webpage is on my website, hidden away in folders and then the PHP script requires a password.

You could bypass that, but you'd need my mac address, which (I believe) doesn't leave the router.

Wouldn't the answer be to have two seperate include files? Something like

index.asp
companyfunctions.asp
manualfunctions.asp

The company functions file(s) would contain all the code contained in your repository and you would be very very strict in ensuring that the code is read only

If you wanted to edit the code (even by one character) you would write the code into the manual function file for index.asp (in this example).

Once you edit code in the repository you would not need to do a find and replace, you could just replace the companyfunctions file as you can ensure that it will not delete any work (as it is 'read only' and you have only made the code better).

But obviously this is just an overview without really knowing much about your situation.

General Software Discussion / Turning a pc on and off remotely
« on: July 16, 2008, 03:15 AM »
I've been talking about Wake over network recently and have successfully managed to make my computer wake from sleep (but not off) via a PHP script on my webpage.

Is there a way of making the computer go to sleep via a webpage? I'm mostly thinking of using Orb via my mobile phone so won't have access to a remote desktop connection, but I could put IIS onto the computer (Vista Enterprise SP1) if IIS could shut down the computer.

Or is there just a program that could do it (that could also be placed on a phone or loaded from a webpage).

Thank you experts!

Title is 'queueing downloads in firefox' :p

I have a socket with all my computer bits on it and I turn off the power by the plug each day, but an interesting plugin nevertheless.
