Remoter allows you to WakeOnLAN/Reboot/Shutdown and Start/Restart/Kill processes on a range of target PCs at the click of a button. Main benefit of this over similar solutions: You don't need to install any software on the remote PCs first! It uses [PAExec](https://github.com/poweradminllc/PAExec) and [robocopy](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/robocopy) under the hood for the magic and essentially builds a fancy UI on top of those.
## Features

If you've been with vvvv long enough you may remember [the old version](https://beta.vvvv.org/using-vvvv/boygrouping/remotersa.html), which was built on top of [PSTools](https://learn.microsoft.com/de-de/sysinternals/downloads/pstools). But since PSTools doesn't allow redistribution it always required a separate download.
- Manage lists of PCs (via their IPs) and assign them to groups
- WakeOnLAN, Reboot, Shutdown selected PCs
- Start, Restart, Kill processes on selected PCs
- Watchdog: Define what happens when a task fails (e.g. Reboot, Restart process,...)
- Mirror files to selected PCs

Remoter 2.0 is completely repatched in vvvv gamma, with sources and releases available via [Remoter on GitHub](https://github.com/vvvv/Remoter).

Because is sometimes tricky to get the underlying PAExec to run properly in your PC/network setup, we're providing a [Troubleshooting](https://github.com/vvvv/Remoter/wiki/Troubleshooting) page to avoid common pitfalls. But once you have it running, it will save you a lot of time.

Remoter allows you to create lists of PCs (given their IPs) and organize them in groups. And it allows you to define custom tasks that you can then run on a selection of PCs.
