| j0k3r | I have a computer in the next room which my sisters use, and frankly it gets REALLY annoying sometimes and I'd like to shut them up without them knowing. I would like to know how to shut down their computer from mine. I can see their hard drive from my computer, and all I gotta do is change one setting to allow me to run stuff on that computer from here. Do I have to make a program to do this (if I do, when I run it from here will it run on that computer or this one), or can I do it easier somehow (sending a packet). | October 5, 2003, 3:45 AM |
| drivehappy | Either write a program, or try "shutdown -i" (some more optional parameters but the -i gives the ui) in the command prompt. I haven't tested this method though. | October 5, 2003, 3:50 AM |
| Thing | http://users.pandora.be/jbosman/applications.html Scroll down until you find Poweroff. I use it on many machines. | October 5, 2003, 3:52 AM |
| j0k3r | Great stuff Thing, I just can't get it working. I keep getting connectin refused. SCORE! IT WORKS! [me=j0k3r]gives Thing a big kiss[/me] | October 5, 2003, 4:25 AM |
| iago | It's too late now, but all you would have to do is find a way to run c:\windows\system32\shutdown.exe on their computer. What's more fun, however, is to use VNC to connect to their computer, take control of their mouse and keyboard and let the hilarity ensue :) | October 5, 2003, 12:57 PM |

| Thing | I used to use psshutdown but sometimes had difficulty connecting to remote computers. That's why I switched to Poweroff. | October 5, 2003, 2:48 PM |
