Checking if remote computer is idle/logged on

Hey,

Is there an function I can call to check the status of a remote computer, i.e. if it has a user logged in or if it's idle, and if it is idle for how long?

Similar to what get's displayed in a message box when you remote access to a computer...'a user is currently logged on but they have been idle for 5 minutes, do you want to log them out?'

Thanks for your time,

-Ross

I dont think so, you will most likely have to develope a clinet/server app and add the functionaility ou want to add. Winsock will do this for you, once you get a conection established, the rest should be very easy. its just all about sending commands back and forth.

Hope that helps, if your going to look into this, let me know and I will try and help you.
