Displaying the operating status of a network computer on the desktop of a second PC, is that possible?

I have a total of 4 computers (3 desktops, 1 laptop) running on a NAS in my internal network on a router (both Windows and Linux).

I usually forget to switch off one of these computers in the evening.

Since I sit or work most of the time on the laptop at the sales counter,

I wanted to know if it is possible to change the operating status of the

make the rest of the PC visible on the desktop.

Already searched for solutions several times on Google, just nothing

suitable or reasonable found!

Does anyone happen to have any advice or does anyone know a good solution?

I'm very grateful for every answer.

Every network overview shows the active computers. Who is switched off, becomes invisible.

if you want to access other computers in the home network and want to view more than the released files / drives, then you have to connect them to teamview or similar.

If all computers were installed on Linux (Distri) then this would be done with only 4 self-written scripts.

The function would be e.g. If someone logs on to one of the systems that this Pc sends a signal to the central computer (freely definable which one) and you will then be shown that this is online. Do you want to shutdown the PC (without WOL) then click on a certain button in a Windows window and the PC will shutdown. You could refine it with a time display, etc. But that's all a matter of taste and definition.

There are a number of similar programs on Linux, which is more likely to be Remote Desktop

I used to populate Internet cafes with such scripts. It's totally easy under Linux (Distri). There are also suitable instructions for this.

Thank you for your contribution.
I was thinking of a kind of toolbar, where the operating conditions may be shown in color?!

That almost sounds like a solution!
Since the desktop computers have both Windows and Linux Mint partitions,
if that were with Linux I guess less problem.

What do I do with Windows?
currently Run on one desktop and the laptop - WIN7 and on the other two - WIN10. But this will be for a while, because I have not yet found a suitable DMS and KManager for Linux.

Therefore, the operating display would be a huge help.

Which pattern (Linux) might be suitable
or what instructions do I have to look for?

Correctly

Would also do without windows here because you don't have to do a lot with Linux Distris (in your case Linux Mint, which I also use).

You can even connect it to the log-in (this was the case with the internet Cafe Pc systems). If you log in, the time can be recorded using time stamps and the fee can run depending on the clock rate. The user will see no window in the top right corner where he can see the amount he has already reached, as well as the time he has used.

Small tip on the side regarding Linux

If it ever happens that the system is stiff or it seems that it is overloaded with an application. Press the key combination CTRL + ALT and F1. There you end up in terminal mode

Log in there and just enter init 0. This is the cleanest way to force the PC to shutdown without losing data.

What do I do with Windows?

currently Run on one desktop and the laptop - WIN7 and on the other two - WIN10. But this will be for a while, because I have not yet found a suitable DMS and KManager for Linux.

As far as the manager is concerned, this can either be done via a VB (virtual box) on the host or via Wine with winetricks (depending on) the requirements are quite lax, that should also be feasible. These sensors can also be addressed in other ways (if available). I mean to have read something of it somewhere, so even the software under Windows would be obsolete. As far as the DMS is concerned, you should be a little more specific about what you do with it. There are several abbreviations that fit DMS.

or what instructions do I have to look for?

You can stay with Linux Mint, but if less resources are used for the OS, e.g. Debian good for that too. Instead of Gnome or KDE you use Fluxbox as a GUI. The application / usage is based on OS / 2

The gui is quite simple, quick and small. Has everything important and you can easily install a lot if you need anything (special package manager, special office suite, etc.)

As far as the functions for remote control are concerned, take a look at Remote Desktop or Remote Control so that you can control the boxes under Linux remotely. Are time-critical applications necessary? You should take a closer look at CRON and CRONTAB.
