ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a computer network having a host computer and a plurality of user computers connected to the host computer by a computer network wherein the host computer can send a signal to inhibit any or all the user computers from completely powering down. More particularly, the present invention relates to a computer that can be inhibited from powering down when a user presses a power button. The computer may enter a standby state instead of powering down. Furthermore, the computer may inform the user that it is going to go into a standby state at a predetermined event after a power down inhibit signal is received from a host computer.
