Restart simulator programmatically/ from other computer?

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion
#1

I’m connecting my PC to the Mac using an Ethernet cable, the Win-7 PC for typing and the Mac for displaying the Corona simulator. My question: Is there any way I can hit “Restart” from Windows (perhaps within Lua, which I could instruct to repeatedly look if a certain file change)?

It’s only a minor delay to reach over to the Mac keyboard, but I figured it can’t hurt asking anyway. I tried screen control via TightVCN and Mac’s sharing setting, but it’s very slow and doesn’t work well with the accessibility zoom option I have running on Mac to blow up the Corona simulator window…

Hi Phillip, Have you tried Synergy, that way you can use one Keyboard and mouse to control multiple devices, be it a Mac, PC or a *nix box.

cheers,
