Can I start a computer remotely?
I have retired an old computer and placed it inside my home theater system. I have it networked, have installed Ethernet and use the TV as a monitor. Problem is that the TV is usually used by family in the evenings when I want to use it on the network. I suppose that I could turn the computer on and off blindly (without the monitor) but then would get the message " your computer was not shut down properly...." I have been leaving it on for days but it builds up quite a bit of heat in the enclosed space and I suspect that it is using quite a bit of unnecessary energy.
is there a way for me to put the computer to sleep and wake it from the remote, main, computer?
