2 features that would be awesome!!

Hi,
I'm not sure how I can implement these features, but if it's possible, I will. Just to be sure that I understand, what exactly do you mean if a computer is down, send a email, you want that Remote Desktop Manager monitor your computer ?

Thank you for your comments

Wow, it's true, you are quick to provide an answer :)

Here's what I meant about the email alert option:

Your software could do periodic Ping to check out which host is up and those who are down than, it could send an email regarding hosts that are down.

Sorry if my english is little hard to follow, it's not my primary language ;)

Thanks
Best regards

Exactly what I was thinking, more monitoring options should appear in the version 6.0, but it's not the core business for Remote Desktop Manager. It's now added to my todo list.

Thank you

the command is shutdown.exe
Usage: shutdown [-i | -l | -s | -r | -a] [-f] [-m \computername] [-t xx] [-c "comment"] [-d
up:xx:yy]

No args Display this message (same as -?)
-i Display GUI interface, must be the first option
-l Log off (cannot be used with -m option)
-s Shutdown the computer
-r Shutdown and restart the computer
-a Abort a system shutdown
-m \computername Remote computer to shutdown/restart/abort
-t xx Set timeout for shutdown to xx seconds
-c "comment" Shutdown comment (maximum of 127 characters)
-f Forces running applications to close without warning
-d [p]:xx:yy The reason code for the shutdown
u is the user code
p is a planned shutdown code

I'm planning to integrate more tools and I think that shutdown.exe could be one of them.

Thank you for the information.

if %errorlevel%==1 (c:\blat\blat -server example.org -f FromEmail@example.org -to ToEmail@example.org -s "server %computername% is down" -body " " -log c:\blat\blat.log)

Hi,
There is now an add-on available to do the remote shutdown / reboot:
