Wake server up when launching WMC?

Anyone know of a way of doing this? I'm thinking of building a separate server and have a stand alone HTPC that will be for gaming too. I wouldn't want my server to be always on even if I'm just playing games. XBMC has an addin that you can use to wake another PC up. Wondering if there is something similar I can use for WMC

You could do it with Event Ghost. Using the process watcher plugin for EG, you could trigger a macro that sends a WOL to another computer when ehshell.exe starts.

Sorry that I didn't respond to this sooner. I'll give it a try!
