Of course I have the connectivity, and I ssh everyday.

<flamesuit>I want to turn off computer 2 because it is in my bedroom, and for 
some reason, I don't sleep as well with a running computer in the room. 
Computer1 is in the living room, and will be running a process through the 
night.  I do not want to leave the bedroom.</flamesuit>

Ultimately, I want to start Computer1 WOL let it boot up, start the process 
on Computer1 with Computer2 using ssh, and then turn off Computer2.

Really, I would like to see the entire screen from Computer1 no matter what 
is on it - barring UT or Descent3 games whose graphics don't seem to go 
across the LAN very well :).
