Bryan Posted April 21, 2022 Report Share Posted April 21, 2022 Hi all, Is there any way to remotely trigger a relaunch of Watchout display software on a display machine? The only way I know to do it is accessing the computer directly (or through VPN). I'm looking to try to add it to a control panel. Running Watchout 6.7. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. There is a reset command, possibly that could provide what you need? Next closest you would get is two steps - power down via IP command, power up via Wake On LAN. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dataton Partner RBeddig Posted April 21, 2022 Dataton Partner Report Share Posted April 21, 2022 I haven't tried it myself but you might be able to send load "" (to unload the current show, might send an error that there is no show with an empty name) and then load "yourShowName" to reload the show again. It would of course not restart WATCHPOINT but the actual show file. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a specific command to unload the current show. unload with no arguments. This command requires authenticate 2 and only affects the one computer it is sent too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dataton Partner RBeddig Posted April 22, 2022 Dataton Partner Report Share Posted April 22, 2022 It's true, load "" won't work. But if the aim is to reload the show for whatever reason, I'd probably create a second empty show and then just toggle between both using the load command. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
