Setting up a System w/ Wake-on-LAN and VNC?

Posted by Cliff on from the systems-on-demand dept.

andrebsd asks: "I'd like to make myself some sort of webpage where I could startup my system with 'Wake on Lan', and once it is started, use VNC to login. Once I'm done doing what I need the system for I would then like to shut it down again. I'm wondering how one might go about putting something like this together. VNC has various scripts for making that part work, but I haven't seen any scripts that can function as a 'Power on/Power off' button for a webpage. Thanks to anyone with any way of doing this." While there are helpful reference for Wake-on-LAN tools, how would you integrate all of these into a coherent system? How might one keep such a system (relatively) secure?

    Thanks! The second option seems fine. anything to prevent me from physically have to approach and reset a kiosk.

    From what I can tell, the only downside is that it'll need its own IP address. (Which we try and conserve at my workplace).
