Sense other compurers online

[matumbo]

Does it exist a function that can in someway sense if another computer in the local network starts?

I don't really think that it exists a function that can do all that, but maybe by combine some functions it will work.

Any1 have any idea at all how I could do?

Thx in advance if any1 wanna try to help.

Are you wanting to be notifed when a specific computer starts or when any computer starts?

That's basic networking.

A program on one machine sends a "ping" to a program on another machine.

All you have to do is write a script that sends a specific command to another computer that's listening for it. Whether that be a file with the computer's name that spits a time-stamp to some common watched folder, or using the built in TCP functions in AutoIt, that's up to you.

Would it work just to ping the other computer, in that case what should I use to get my computer to act when the ping comes?

[matumbo]

The purpose is that it should exit a program when a specific computer comes online or if any computer comes online, but that may be more difficult.

        ProcessClose("myprogram.exe")

If it's a particular, static IP address, then If Ping($ip) > 0 then Msgbox(0,"","Found It!") will work.

If it's not static, then ... you'll need to set up a script to TCPListen() on your home system and a boot-up script on the other system set to TCPConnect()

[matumbo]

thx, I'll check if I can make it to work for me

Right now it's only to check if one computer comes online.

Then the first one I posted should do the job.

[weaponx]

$array[4] = ["192.168.1.2","192.168.1.3","192.168.1.4","192.168.1.5"]

While 1
$result = 0

;Add together results from all known ip's
For $X = 0 to Ubound($array) - 1
    $result += Ping($array[$X])
Next

If NOT $result Then
    If NOT ProcessExists("notepad.exe") Then
        ;Run program
        Run("notepad.exe")
    EndIf
Else
    If ProcessExists("notepad.exe") Then
        ;Run program
        ProcessClose("notepad.exe")
    EndIf
;Close program
EndIf
;Check every 10 seconds
Sleep(10000)
WEnd

EDIT - Fixed if/then error

I tried this script, but it complains that an "If" statement must have a "Then" keyword.

but both If statements got Then keywords... whats the problem?

If NOT $result

Should be

If NOT $result Then

C'mon, it gave you exactly what to look for
