I was wanting to know if any of you use ansy sort of automiatic shutdownd or hibernate programs. As for I am looking for one that is free. What do you recommend?
 
I'm not real clear on what you're asking. Are you looking for a program to remotely shut down computers via the network, or just a program where you tell it when to shut down and it does it after a given time?
 
You know if all you want to do is have the computer shutdown at a given time, and if you like GUI interfaces, then go to Start > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt > shutdown -i

From there you can enter in your computer name, and how long you want it to take before the computer is shutdown.

Yup, I used it all the time to fool around with my friends computer next to me.

Although you need to have the other computers firewall down. I was able to access his services list remotely by going to the admin tools > services > then remotely connect and disable his firewall.

It brings up a nifty tan and red box which says your computer will shut down in xx:xx:xx.

It is called "Windows Firewall".

Now it also depends on how the schools network is setup, if it's like my high school then it probably wont work, however it does at my college because we everyone in the class is attached to a single switch.
 
Be careful though sometimes this command will show up and say your computer's name.... We used to screw around at work and did it a lot when i was at my previous job... See how quick someone can type in a command to stop it....
