Turn on Computer in Sleep Mode to run Script.

[tko991]

Hi, is there a possibility for the computer to turn on itself from (stand by) mode, run some script, then go back to stand by mode, at a certain time of the day.

I've seen something like this in the form before; i tried to find it but i can't find it

any help is much appreciated

The computer should be able to turn itself on at a preset time each day. Look in the BIOS settings.

Your script can run at startup and check the time of day to see if it is time to run whatever you want... then the script can end with Shutdown(32) to place the computer into standby.

What you can do after activating the BIOS.

Run a WOL (Wake On Lan) script. To force it to wake up.

expandcollapse popup

$IPAddress = "192.168.1.255"; This is the broadcast address !
$MACAddress = "000D8787E226"


UDPStartUp()

$connexion = UDPOpen($IPAddress, 7)
$res = UDPSend($connexion, GenerateMagicPacket($MACAddress))
MsgBox(0, "", $res)

UDPCloseSocket($connexion)
UDPShutdown()
