Is there a way by jailbreaking or using the native appstore to get command prompt or cmd?
OR even an app like it that will allow me to remote control and do certain things to computers without touching them.
A couple of the things I'd be interested in, shutting down or pinging a computer with my iPod.

Thanks.

A command prompt or cmd is applicable to Microsoft Windows only. Apple operating systems are unix based so what you need is a shell. An ssh daemon or server is what you want and the most common used on iPhones and iPod touch devices is Mobile Terminal. You will have to crack your device to be able to install that application.

Google for Pwnage Tool which is used to build a custom firmware package for you iPod or iPhone and has proven to be the most reliable.

So... jailbreak. Sounds like fun. If I install mobile terminal, will I be able to do stuff on a network to Windows computers like I would if I were running command prompt on a Windows OS?

It is a lot of fun. There are a couple of RDP Remote Desktop applications that allow you to remote control a Windows pc from your iPod or iPhone. Once you start looking you'll find literally hundreds and hundreds of applications out there.

Yeah, I looked in to the Remote Desktop applications on the App Store. They're not what I'm looking for though. Sometimes my friends and I will get bored in PC Tech class so we will start using command prompt to shut each other's computers down. I want to be able to shut them down from my iPod. Using a remote desktop app wouldn't really work since my home computer isn't on my school's domain.
I would also use the mobile terminal to check my connection speed and a few other things.
