*** MY SOLUTION *** Since the RESTART command-function is not VNC-integrated (and because I don't want to buy rip-off KVM-over-IP!), I finally found something that works:
http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/remoteshutdownsubmission.asp (you will need to create an account on the website to download the ZIP archive. I will try to send the file via this mailing-list in the next email, but I doubt it will be dispatched...). Brief introduction: C# written software, that: - listens on a user-defined port ; - uses a user-defined password (will be SHA-1 encrypted) ; - awaits for REBOOT instructions! (even though the soft is called RemoteShutdown). How to use it: from any computer in the world, you can make a telnet on the distant machine "TELNET ip port", once connected type-in your password, as you press enter the machine reboots! Security consideration: even if the password is SHA-1 encrypted on the remote machine, it could be sniffed from an unsecured network (but who does that anyway??... a tiny packet in a ocean of data...). Installation: - create your config file with makeconfig.exe (from a CMD prompt), defining your password and listening port ; - install the service with installutil.exe (from a CMD prompt). This EXE is already in every computer, on my Win2k it was in: C:\WINNT\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727 ; - run the service (from Services control panel). Definitely a feature that I would like to see in the next releases of VNC(as an add-on service?). Until then, enjoy this soft. jcn50. _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list VNC-List@realvnc.com To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
