Shutting down other Macbooks around you through terminal?

[brian9271]

Hey there, I was wondering if I could shut down my Macbook remotely using terminal, so lets say I'm using my friends Macbook at his place, then I type my Ip Address into terminal and I shut it down, what commands would I need to type?

Do a man on shutdown in terminal:man shutdown

Looks like:shutdown -h nowwill do the trick.
