don't know if i'm doing something wrong, but it gives an exception error when trying to run, maybe some missing dependency ? your other remote shudown app works fine..

I even tried putting the files in the path specified in the error log: C:\projects\remote-controller

error log below:

希望在命令行处能输入bat批处理文件名，手机遥控执行这个bat批处理文件。
想在休眠或关机前执行一下其他任务，我在bat中加入休眠或关机命令，
谢谢作者的小工具！

Would it be possible to have an option that puts the PC in Sleep/Hybrid Sleep mode as an alternative to Hibernation?

Hello,
please, can you add "Lock screen". Command for this:
Rundll32.exe user32.dll,LockWorkStation
Also with something like this "http://remote-host-name:5001/secret/lock"
Thank you

Hi,
Really impressed with this project it is exactly what I need. However, i have no idea how to get started. could you help, please?

Sam

First, this is a great piece of software, super important feature for places with frequent power issues. Perhaps this is the wrong place for this question, but if someone could point me towards compiling this for old machines (they exist as VMs only now), it would be great to be able to shut them down like more modern machines.

Regards,
Jordan

I have windows 11
no matter what request I trigger is executing the default action (Sys tray command).
I'm using a secret.

add security code can't control

My PC is automatically backed up each night with the client backup feature of Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials.

If the PC is suspended via the Windows toolbar menu, it automatically resumes at the scheduled backup time and the backup job is executed.
If the PC is suspended via the remote-shutdown-pc tool, it doesn't resume and the backup job isn't executed.

Why is the suspend-behavior different, and is there a way to also have the PC resume for the backup when suspended via the tool?

Hello,
With version remote-shutdown-pc-v1.0.40 the server won't work anymore.
Could you check?
Bye
Stefano

Hi, is there a way to shut down the pc when a user isn't logged in or when it's on the lock screen. I'm using it with alongside home assistant for power outage automations.

Trying to run the latest 1.1.2 exe I keep getting this error:

---------------------------
Karpach.RemoteShutdown.Controller.exe
---------------------------
To run this application, you must install missing frameworks for .NET.

Would you like to download it now?

Chosing yes doesn't help. There doesn't start any download.
It seems I have installed these versions:

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Get-STDotNetVersion


ComputerName : localhost
>=4.x        : 4.8 or later
v4\Client    : Installed
v4\Full      : Installed
v3.5         : Installed
v3.0         : Installed
v2.0.50727   : Installed
v1.1.4322    : Not installed (no key)

I've downloaded the 1.1.1, too, but without success (same error).
What else do I need ?

I compiled app via VS 2019 without errors but when I run it the server is not created, there is no port that app is listening on. What could be the problerm, and how to debug it?

Where are settings saved?

Would be nice, if there was an option to turn the screen off remotely too.

I'd like this jewel of a program to shutdown a virtualbox WinXP hosted by 64-bit Linux server. Is there a 32 bit option or version?

Is it possible to have a checkbox to force the shutdown/reboot, because if there are some open programs in the background the pc will not shutdown/reboot.

What is the syntax to use the “Turn off screen” command please? * http://remote-host-name:5001/turnoffscreen? …/turn-off-screen? other?

Other question, do I have to open the 5001 port on my PC firewall? Because for now nothing works sadly

Is there anything to configure first in configuration.yaml to use curl commands? I have this error: Logger: homeassistant.components.command_line
Source: components/command_line/init.py:43
Integration: command_line (documentation, issues)
First occurred: 19:19:09 (2 occurrences)
Last logged: 19:20:24

Timeout for command: curl http://192.168.1.29:5001/test/turn-screen-off

Thanks for you help

Any chance you can start off how compile these into executables for windows? Can't find any exe or installer inside here.

Hi,

Firstly thank you for providing this software.

I'm having an issue running the application which fails with an incompatibility error. I've tried both the oldest release and the newest both of which fail with the same error. I'm running Windows 7 32bit I know that's not much to go on but any ideas what may be stopping it from running?

Kind regards

Mark

Great app, congratulations. Optimal operation, with simple Curl instruction. If you added run as a service and send wol, it would already be perfect. His combined uses with VirtualHere gives a lot of options in a simple way.

This is a great tool and I'm using it in conjunction with TAustin's Smartthings Edge driver with great success. Thank you!

Clients like TAustin's and end users like myself could benefit from having insight into power management on the system. As it stands, I'm only able to control the PC power state (and thus the associated devices in my scheme) when it is fully active (e.g., not suspended or pending user log in). The ability to learn about events and the current power management parameters would greatly increase the utility that's already here.

Here's a potential approach:

1. Subscribe to Win32 power events: suspend, hibernate, shut down as well as resume from suspend/hibernate, and power up as well as changes to the active power plan (not sure if there's a Win32 event for that last one). There may be more such events of interest, like starting and ending versions of these and even one indicating that the system is up but pending user log in.
2. As was suggested earlier, provide a setting such that the system can WoL from a suspended state.
3. Respond to shutdown and other requests with success/failure or, better, a status code.
4. Support an event subscription model to report PC power events to network clients. Client's like TAustin's PC Control Driver would subscribe to relevant RSM power events.

With these in place, clients like the PC controller can know what’s going on and a) have the ability to reflect that status to their clients in turn as well as b) issue more appropriate power events in more situations.

These changes would obviously increase the scope of your tool beyond the handling shutdown requests and basic monitoring into a more complete solution, yet still in the realm of supporting shutdown and power state monitoring.

Thanks again for this tool and for your consideration of these or even better possibilities.

I can see there is remote-shutdown-pc on the startup page, but the app won't start actually and there is no icon on system tray, so non of the commands work.

I am on Windows 11 22H2.

The app is v1.1.2

I guess it's more of a feature request than an issue..

But I want to install this on my kids PC, but he is smart enough to just exit the app.. can we make it so a password needs to be entered to exit the app? Or simply hide the tray icon so he has no idea that it is running?

Is it possible to run some bat file before shutdown (hibernate) for example?

Thank you.

My English is not very good, hope you can understand what I mean.
I hope there is a feature that I can determine the workstation is lock or unlock.
This URL will be look like：
http://remote-host-name:5001/secret/islock/
And it will return true or false string in respond message.

It will be helpful to let remote know the PC workstation state and doing some synchronous controls for different devices.

Having a secret is good, but can easily be snooped as its in plain-text. Adding a certificate would close that loop hole.

I can imagine if this was distributed as-is on a school network, and a student got the secret-code, many laughs would be had :)

As it is Windows, the certificate can be stored in the local machines certificate store, which can then be updated via other automated means outside of the remit of this app. However, in order for it to be automated, the certificate needs to be able to be picked at startup, or part of a registry entry with the thumbprint.

Thank you for this useful tool 💯
