 |
|
You guys have heard of Wake on Lan right?
Well, is there anything like it for shutting down a machine on lan? 
I know what you're thinking... ssh in and so a shutdown command.
I need to be able to shut down windows boxes from the terminal based on hostname.  |

Install ssh server on the windows machine (e. g. from openssh.org or tectia.com or with cygwin), find a way to shut down windows from a DOS prompt, and you're set.
EDIT: Forget tectia.com, they offer only trial versions for free.
EDIT2: Forget also openssh.org, they don't offer packages for windows, there is a project that does that on sourceforge, but they're badly outdated. So cygwin it is, I guess... |

I am using APC tools here to do so. - UPS stuff simulating a power failure. The clients are shutting down as they assume, battery's low at the UPS.

If your LAN is save, you can use telnet. Activate the service on the windows computer (it is installed by default), then you can use:
# shutdown -s -t xx
xx is the time in seconds.
If some one know how this can be done automatic, i am interested in it... |

try this: http://users.pandora.be/jbosman/poweroff/poweroff.htm
| Quote: | | You can remotely control poweroff by starting it as a service and setting the Allow remote control option. You can control it by using poweroff itself and selecting a remote computer, or you can control it by using telnet to the port where poweroff listens on (default 3210). |

This does not work:
echo "pw" | telnet -a host
...
Connection closed by foreign host. |

I think it can be done with rpcclient (part of samba)
something like
| Code: |
rpcclient -U user computer
[password]
shutdown
|
But I'm not sure and don't have a windows machine handy. Check the rpcclient man page around line 222 |
