Net Power is a simple utility that will allow your Server to send commands to the attached PC's to power them down at a particular time.
Each Client runs a small exe, a service which is also available, and will check that the PC isn't busy and then power down.
You can also use the WOL facility of your PC to have the Server power it back up in the morning!
Net Power comes in two parts :
Server : This is the main control program that will run on a PC that is always on (like your server)
Client : Runs on every machine you want to have turned off at night
By using UDP communications, the two applications can talk to each other, without knowing the IP of either machine.
This should make distribution, and installation an easy task. However even if the parameters need to be changed, they are stored in a very simple INI file that can be distributed as needed.
