IP Address list? Send wake-up packets?

Post by UnforgivenRevival »

I am looking to make a basic skin, almost like the program in the picture.

Few questions though.

Can Rainmeter scan through local IP addresses and tell what is on/off like in the program?

Is there a way to send the magic packet via mouse action through rainmeter to wake a local computer up?

It is a pain always having to open and close the window that requires admin rights just to see if my media center computer is on/off, and to wake it up through the same program. Looking to make something right on the desktop that updates every 10 minutes or so and can send the magic wake-up packet.

Is any of this possible? Would there be something like this in the near future?

I would think this would be very possible using the ping plugin on a loop of addresses you want to check and also use the !Execute bang to run any of the command line versions of a Wake On Lan programs, such as wolcmd (http://www.depicus.com/wake-on-lan/wake-on-lan-cmd.aspx).

If you have issues with UAC popup windows, check out the popular method to use the Task Scheduler to run these programs (http://www.sevenforums.com/customization/240130-tip-bypass-uac-prompt-w-task-scheduler-focus-window.html).
