Hi, we also tested this problem on our thin clients some time ago
as you say - on each hard power off/reset, the thin client won't start with a WOL signal until you shut down normally or unplug and plug in the power adapter again if the computer starts after a normal windows shut down - it seems WOL is activated in the bios you can check the WOL options for the openthinclient os in a command window while your os is booted correctly (to get a command window press strg+alt+shift+x) with the command 'ethtool' (see 'man ethtool') hope this helps greetings Manuel Henle Telefon: +49 711 1378636-0 Fax: +49 711 1378636-9 mailto:[email protected] openthinclient gmbh, Hirschstraße 29, 70173 Stuttgart Amtsgericht Stuttgart: HRB 245 177; USt-ID: DE216017092 Geschäftsführer: Alexander Stecher, Martin Kreiner http://openthinclient.com -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Gary Horneman [mailto:[email protected]] Gesendet: Freitag, 1.

I tried creating an application but was not successful because the application did not run as an administrator. I discovered how to create an application that is effectively run as an administrator. Here is an example of the command line for an application that shuts down the thinclient at 6:00 pm. (The application has Autostart=Yes.) echo foobar | sudo -S shutdown -P -h 18:00 "Scheduled 6:00 pm shutdown" As to turning on the thinclient, I have a scheduled task on a server that sends a WOL (wake-on-lan) signnal to the clients at 7:00 am. The clients do not wake up (i.e., turn on). When these clients were being used as Windows XP computers and shut down through a scheduled task calling windows' shutdown command, WOL worked. So I know the device is capable of responding to a WOL. I know that if a computer is not shutdown "correctly", it won't respond to a WOL. I have tried this on 3 different computers from two manufacturers with the same results. Anyone know if there is some trick to having the thinclient power down "correctly" so WOL works? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Start uncovering the many advantages of virtual appliances and start using them to simplify application deployment and accelerate your shift to cloud computing. http://p.sf.net/sfu/novell-sfdev2dev _______________________________________________ The Open Source Thin Client Solution http://openthinclient.org [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openthinclient-user ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Beautiful is writing same markup.
