I can't get on my flight or do I have to do it?

Will Air France adjust my flight listing at the airport if I can't get on my flight or do I have to do it?
I am flying Nonrev (standby) on Air France next week and I do not have a laptop. Will the gate agent adjust my listing to the next flight for me if I do not get on my flight due to space not being available or do I HAVE to do it over their flight listing website? I do not have a laptop, that is why I am asking.

Answer 1 :
You will have to be at the airport staying in contact with the gate agents for status. When I fly I see the people get there as soon as they can, there can be others attempting standby too. Then Ive notice the gate attendants keep track with those passengers verbally about thier status. Even if you had a laptop, you would still need to be at the airport, you need to inform them of your intents.
Answer 2 :
They'll take care of it, if you ask them to politely. It's a simple transaction to cancel a flight segment in an existing reservation and replace it with a new one. I can do it in 6 seconds with just two computer entries!
