How to shutdown your computer from a distance

[charleychacko]

There's a small utility called "SHUTCMD.EXE" included in the Windows NT Resource Kit that you can use to shutdown or restart a local or remote computer.
For example, you can shutdown the local computer by running:

    SHUTCMD /L
to shutdown a computer on your network ("SERVER1" being the name of the computer you want to shutdown):

    SHUTCMD \\SERVER1 /Y
to shutdown a remote computer connected to the Internet ("205.56.44.24" being the IP address of the computer you want to shutdown):

    SHUTCMD \\205.56.44.24 /Y

     NOTE: You must first logon to the computer that you're trying to reboot.
