  1. Check who is logged into a machine

    by , 9th February 2012 at 02:24 AM
    From time to time you may wish to find out who is logged into a machine. I find this batch file handy for doing this. Its quick, simple and easy.

    Just copy and paste the below code into notepad and save the file as who.bat

    Code:
    @echo off
    
    :CHECK
    echo Checking Connection ...
    ping %1 -n 1  | findstr "TTL=" >nul && GOTO MAIN || GOTO ERROR
    GOTO END
    
    :ERROR
    echo Device Unreachable
    GOTO END

  4. And that's the end of that...

    Well that sucks.

    I've had to convert the head-node into a CC3 desktop because one has died [power supply failure] and I've also had to rip the power button from one of the nodes.

    That brings it down to 3 computers I can use. While it's stil possible, I think, the fact they're RM F-series and weak beyond belief[/opinion] would render any added power from the clustering moot.

    The project is dead. ...
