Hi,
I've had a look at these apps and can't figure out how to do something with
them.
The two things I would like to do are -
1) Monitor my Misterhouse application. Misterhouse generates xAP BSC
messages for all of it's defined I/O.
Occasionally MH locks up. When this happens it stops sending BSC
messages.
I want to send an email when this happens.
2) After the email has been sent, I want to restart the PC.
Regards,
Neil Wrightson.

mi4's xAP Ping will detect and advise about absent devices (by a variety of
means). There's xMonitor too.
I'm sure there was a xAP app that offered access to a variety of Windows
functions including reboot but I can't just remember what it was .. xAP is
not very secure though for such a vital function.

A long time ago, I wrote a little application that caused Windows to be
restarted when an SMS message was sent a mobile phone attached to the PC.
This ran on XP and I recall that there was some twiddling with privileges
required before the call to make Windows exit and restart would work.
Suppose it wouldn't be too hard to tweak this to listen for xAP messages,
or
a lack thereof. Suspect that the program would also need to be aware of an
xAP hub.
What version of Windows are you running? Also, does Windows always exit and
reboot cleanly if you use the standard 'shutdown and restart' option?
Cheers,
Derek.
