Remote shutdown on lan app/terminal code

[Peter.l.knudsen]

I would like to know how to shutdown other computers(both windows and mac) on a local wifi or lan network. I have a mac with lion, and would like some help! I believe that there must be an app for this purpose somewhere, but otherwise would some code be nice. Thanks

Peter

win: shutdown -s

In the Mac

sudo shutdown -h now

If you open the terminal in Mac OS and enter

man shutdown

you get more details on other helpful options

I do that from time to time when laying in bed and too lazy to stand up; use remote shell via iPhone and switch off the iMac

But how can i shutdown an other computer from my mac???

ssh user@hostname

Like

ssh peter@192.168.1.1

That open you the unix shell for the target system to enter the shutdown. You would need to enable "Remote Login" on the Mac you want to login in system preferences -> Sharing.

Right now not on my Mac, cant make a screenshot

For Windows I don't know. I would use a Remote desktop (RDP protocol) in case your Windows variant allow that (like Ultimate).
