How about a call back feature?

Post by Boagrius »

Hi, I have been using SC for a month now and it seems to work really well. The biggest problem I am running into is a call back feature.

My boss bought a $800.00 software license from networkstreaming.com about a year ago. I turns out that their remote is the exact same program and interface as ultraVNC, just with some modifications.

If I have to restart the clients computer for any reason, I have to dial them up on the phone every time and re-do the executable from my site. The networkstreaming version sits on their computer and calls back when the PC has been disconnected or the PC has been reset. Then he connects again.

Anyone know how to add something like that, I have looked around with no luck.

While we are on the NetworkStreaming.com topic, they have some network remote appliance on their site and I was wondering if something like that would be possibly to make out of a PC? Windows or Linux?

Thanks!

I would be interested in this functionality too. I've seen it from providers like logmein, where the system will automatically reconnect to the viewer IP address after a reboot.

Seems like in addition to VNC, there would need to be a tool built in which can auto-logon the remote PC.

It is posible..
What I have looked at it seems they dump the sc someware on the PC and modify the registery to RUNONCE.. Their software seems to have some extra code to check and cleanup when its done.
If we are talking restart into SAFEMODE the awnser is harder.
1. You need a very good understanding of the BOOT file.. and some good code to record the current settings and rollback on error and update on the correct settings.. Else you kill the computer...

Check the VNC related forum.

The product OneClick is a addon for SC and it works well. It is a one time charge or 50 dollars but well worth it. It will reconnect and reconnect in safe mode and has some other features. I have used it and really nice to reconnect without remote user assistance.

For automatic callback after disconnection you can use the -autoreconnect command line option of WinVNC.
( http://www.uvnc.com/install/cmdline.html )

Guess what ?

I've developped this option on... networkstreaming demand about 2 years ago. And that's actually this option that is used by their package ;)
Maybe they've improved it since then, I don't know...

They've also submitted to us several bug fixes that improved UltraVNC.
