So heres a thinker...
Is there a way (through scripting or something) i could wake up my other computer using Wake On Lan
I know about wake on internet but my routers firewall blocks it and i would prefer to have a link i click that sends the magic packet to wake up the other computer
This seems like it would be a pretty simple function that could be easily added to any template

that's not something to demand to the application level.
it's at system level, it should be provided by the operating system and drivers.

I guess I was a little unclear...let me explain what im trying to do
So I have a laptop thats always on and a secondary server/media center computer
What I would like to do is be able to remotely wake up the server via a link that i click online
I plan to use HFS on both (listening at different ports)
The secondary pc is already equipped with and currently working with wake on lan
I was thinking...would it be possible to execute like a command line sort of think via a link?
Hopefully this makes sense...and thanks for the reply rejetto not too often the main dev replies
Love the program

yes, it can be done.
you start telling me what you do to remotely wake the other computer, and i'll tell you more.

a possible way is to use an external program which can wake up the remotly computer, an use the macro exec associated with the link  you must activate the lan wake up in the remote computer bios The invited computer has to send a package of numeric(digital) signals to the host via the network. open a DOS session on your remote computer and use the command 'getmac' to find the distant_mac_address The software is a program (coming of: http://www.sysworksoft.net/products/rw.html) MS-DOS very simple to manipulate. He is to be put on the invited PC. Use the following command: rw / m:distant_mac_address rw /m :01-05-FD-3E-XX-YY You can save rw.exe inside the HFS.exe folder {.exec|rw /m :01-05-FD-3E-XX-YY|timeout=value.} rejetto will explain more: where and how using thos informations |

ok i figured out what my problem was at first i needed to close it with a .} instead of just } this is what ive come up with <a href=" http://%host%:443" onclick="{.exec| rw.exe /m:0016e64520d6.}">Secondary Server</a> however, it executes the macro on each load of the website which i would prefer not to happen also ideally a dialog box popping up saying like wait 5 seconds would be nice and what i eventually would like to do would be have it say Secondary Server: Online or Offline....via some macro that queries the other computer to see if it is online with maybe another link that you would click to wake up the computer? sorry for all the posts back to back |

however, it executes the macro on each load of the website which i would prefer not to happen
all macros are executed by hfs before sending the final web page the link to use is <a href=" http://%host%:443/~wakeup">Wake-Up Secondary Server</a> put your macro inside a section named in the template [wakup] <html> Wait until server wake-up </html> {.exec| rw.exe /m:0016e64520d6.} it is the simplest formulaton |

exactly.
these commands are server-side, while "onclick" is for client-side.

awesome...thanks so much you had a typo tho in yours...for future reference others can just cut and paste this ======================== [wakeup] <html> Wait until server wake-up </html> {.exec| rw.exe /m: 0016e64520d6.} #change the red text to your mac address, also rw.exe has to be in the same folder as hfs.exe ========================= #then create a link somewhere you like with this text <a href=" http://%host%/~wakeup">Wake-Up Secondary Server</a> #the 443 port is where the secondary server listens #you would then need a link like <a href=" http://%host%:443/">Secondary Server</a> #to visit the secondary server |

now, my question is....can you maybe create a countdwon on the page that it generates? or perhaps a dialog box that counts down?
maybe also combining it so that i dont have several links cluttering things? like into one of the side frames on the teryaon skin?
ive uploaded a screen shot of my skin and intend to post the modified version once i get the way i like
thanks again for all of your help

sure, a count down can be done, in javascript.
it is not related to the server features.
what are you counting exactly?

just like when you clicked the link it would say
Please wait for the server to boot...5...4..3..2..1 and then load the servers page
should be pretty simple but html and macros are a stretch for me...so js seems scary

i have no time to make the visible countdown, but this should work (untested)
[wakeup]
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5; url=http://%host%:443/">
</head>
<body>
Wait until server wake-up
</body>
</html>
{.exec| rw.exe /m:0016e64520d6.}
