"Send network message" sends simple string. System of another computer intersepts this message and displays it on the screen.
"Sent network command" work with "Network listener" event. See examples here.
Also you can find more examples here.

First of all thanks for the reply. I've seen your link but i dont understand which commands can be used in robotask: I've found this string in your example: ""Hello, world!" But i dont understand if this is a command or simply a message.... Pratically i have two computer wired in a lan, if i send the command "hello, world" the 2nd pc what receive?

Listener receive any command from "Send command" action and runs the task. This example responds on any received string and displays received string on the screen. You can set up the "Listener" in order to start the task on some specified string.

Go to the "Triggering events" tab of task editor
Look at the bottom of tab and see two checkboxes:
"Run when RoboTask starts" and "Run when RoboTask quits".

Turn on first checkbox and the task will be started every time when you start computer.

"On idle" event runs the task when you don't touch mouse and keyboard during specified time. But computer is working.
