I have a work PC and a home PC, both running XP. It's fairly important that my work PC stays connected, as the router has a habit of sometimes locking up. Since I'm away from the office for the next two weeks, I need to keep an eye on the computer to make sure it stays connected, or at least lets me know if it isn't so I can go in and power cycle the router. I am thinking maybe automatic emailing on the hour? [more inside]

I access my Mac remotely through PuTTY and VNC (using SSH). I just upgraded to Leopard, and on this business trip, Leopard seems to have hung as it flips into the screen saver (it is using the iTunes album art, and I just get the screen saying "Looking for Songs", and cannot exit. PuTTY still gives me access to the terminal, and this is still working and responding fine, so I know the Mac itself is still running fine. As a *nix novice, is there a command I can run in the terminal to reset Leopard? (Or even restart the machine!) so I can restore my remote access? Thanks! CSG

Today I washed my car at one of those touch less car washes that you just drop money into and drive in. This particular one was a Laserwash There was a maintenance man in one of the bays with a company truck. I watched him point a remote control at the exit of the wash and initiate a car wash two different times for testing purposes, I assume. My question is, if I had the code and it was an IR remote is it possible to program a universal remote to send that code and activate the carwash in the same manner? Searching Google for Laserwash codes didn't help me much.
