Can you Write to another computer useing datasocket

Right now I have one server computer that my experiment is set up on.. I would like to be able to monitor it useing multiple computer (I have that set up). I also would like to be able to set it up so If someone monitoring sees somthing going wrong, then i can shut it down, I would like to be able to write to the server computer from any computer that may be looking at, and basicly send a True vale when i would like it to shut off, how would I go about doing somthing like this?

Thanks,
-Mark

In your existing reader program, add a datasocket write of a front panel Boolean and in your writer, add a datasocket read. You'll also need to make sure that the Datasocket server is configured so that all of the remote computers have write permissions.

Indeed. In fact this is the main point of Datasocket. You might look at the remote weather station examples in the Help files for hints on how to do multiple sites.
