Is there any way to remotely shut a standard windows box down from a linux system?

There is couple of solutions I could come up with: - the simple one - use RDP to connect to your windows machine, send the Ctrl+Alt+Del sequence there and select "Shutdown" in the popped up dialog. - the flexible one - install OpenSSH on your windows machine, ssh there and invoke "shutdown -r -f -m \\[computername]" command

Actually I've missed the most obvious one :) - if you have Samba installed and configured you can use rpcclient (do 'man rpcclient' to get more info) Regards, Dmitry -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
