[wpkg-users] Question about wpkg

[Chris Wilcox]

Hi,
 
I'm a new user to WPKG but an old user of a very similar package distribution technology that is provided with our education network (RM Connect 3 if that means anything!).  I was pointed to WPKG after looking for something that would work alongside the large number of peer-peer networks I use that have no server.
 
You might want to consider looking at something along the lines of BeyondExec/WOL or similar - these can be used to schedule restarts and shutdowns of your computers so you could use this to roll new software out at times when the computers are not being used.
