wake from sleep?

[jassing]

Is it possible to have an application wake a laptop from sleep w/o the user being involved?
I have a task that MUST run every 30 minutes. I can't seem to get "cancel" going or shutdown/suspend/etc.
The most likey is 'suspend' so if the app could wake the laptop, that'd get around this issue.

sometimes a quick seach is your friend...
Have you tried this one:
Wake on lan WOL (Windows only)

I should have been more specific.
I need the application itself (or a windows scheduled task) to wake the computer (not from another machine based on NIC)
thanks
