Command

[The Astroman]

Is it possible to send a command to a computer on my network using it's IP address? I'd like to remotely shut down a computer on my network, because it's far from where I am (using "shutdown -s"), so could I send that command using the command promp`t?

why not use remote desktop?

no, I have already tried that, but I'd like to be able to send it commands, because my computer is VERY slow, and I wouldn't like to slow it down with such a program.

well its on his network andhe wont be able to do it without an appropraite password and user accounts

Here is the syntax

NET USE \\computername /user:username password
SHUTDOWN.EXE -s -m \\computername -t 60

-t 60 means wait 60 second to shutdown
\\computername you can replace this with the ip addy

but i think you need to be xp pro, and you may have access rights trouble
there are freeware tools that many help

If that doesn't work there are other programs out there like "Remote Admin" And "Real VNC" and lots more...
