If you don&#8217;t, then go take a trip to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.coresis.com\/extra\/rsm\/\" target=\"_blank\">this link<\/a> and get a copy of RSM. It is a nice little utility which runs as a service and listens on port 40 for Telnet connections. Once connected, you can stop and start services or bounce the machine. I occasionally cannot get onto a server or desktop remotely and just need to bounce Logmein, VNC or RDP and this utility is a wonderful, simple, just-does-what-it-says solution.<\/p>\n<p>But if you run Vista as I do, your Telnet command has disappeared. Rather than walk you through going into Programs and Features and clicking on the Turn Windows Features on or off, I&#8217;ll point you at this <a href=\"http:\/\/www.adamsdvds.co.uk\/tutorials\/vista\/telnet\/telnet.php\" target=\"_blank\">very erudite article<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Besides the work going on to replace\/modernise our kitchen, I&#8217;ve recently built a spare server (&#8220;Goblin&#8221;) in case this one (&#8220;Pixie&#8221;) breaks and played around with MySQL import and export to transfer the content. It works but I need to really find a decent auto-backup solution. Ideally one that can dump the backups to a NAS &#8211; mainly because I don&#8217;t want my &#8220;spare&#8221; server running constantly. It is basically a &#8220;park in the corner until I need it&#8221; machine. So the NAS box is on the Christmas list.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you understand the title, you possibly already have a solution.
