Computer power management for standalone computer is widespread globally but very few enterprises and educational institutes utilize computer power management in Local Area network. Networks pose special challenges for Computer power management. Depending on the systems (hardware and software), the network can partially or entirely defeat power management, or may require extra configuration changes for it to function. Now a day's many LAN have heterogeneous environment in which different operating systems are running on client side such as Microsoft windows and Linux based OS, generally windows on client side and Linux based system on server side. Microsoft dispatches the power management patches for the LAN which has only Microsoft client and server. So we need third party solution for the power management in LAN which can be used in such heterogeneous environment. Some software solutions are available that you need to be purchased and to pay for maintenance which discourages people to install it in their LAN. In this paper we propose a software system that can be used as remote control for PCs connected as Local Area Network. This software can be used to identify idle machine in network and put them in standby mode remotely.
