How do you shutdown a client computer from the server system by selecting the required client from the LAN?

At a Windows Environment (Windows 2000 and later) you can shutdown a remote computer using the SHUTDOWN command from a command prompt The sintax is: shutdown -m IP_FROM_THE_DESIRED_COMPUTER s -c "Comment" -t TIME Where IP_FROM_THE_DESIRED_COMPUTER is what the name says. "Comment" is a simple comment about the shutdown (it is displayed in the remote computer) and TIME is a number that says how much seconds the remote computer have to wait before start the shutdown operation (you should use "0" if you need a instant shutdown, this way the Comment isn't displayed too) You can change the parameter "-s" to "-r" to restart the computer and add the "-f" parameter at the end of line to "force" the shutdown, this way some programs that can stops the shutdown won't do that Of course that you need sufficient rights to shutdown the remote computer already set in the remote computer to use this command, or you will get a Access Denied message Answer AFAIK, there are no such utilities/services in Windows server OSes There are many third party utilities to accomplish this task Can try this : http://www.mylanviewer.com/remote-shutdown.html http://www.aquariussoft.com/downloads/pc-remote-shutdown.asp or this : http://www.cybercafepro.com Most vendors let trial versions for free download There are many such remote control utilities like PC Anywhere For XP based servers For Windows XP based systems, the syntax is slightly different. Also, the client computer name will work as well as its IP address Type "shutdown" by itself (or with /?) to get the full syntax.

It will show: Usage: shutdown /i | /l | /s | /r | /a | /p | /h | /e /f /m \\computer/t xxx/d p:xx:yy /c "comment" No args Display help. This is the same as typing /? Display help.

This is the same as not typing any options I Display the graphical user interface (GUI) This must be the first option l Log off. This cannot be used with /m or /d option s Shutdown the computer r Shutdown and restart the computer a Abort a system shutdown This can only be used during the time-out period p Turn off the local computer with no time-out or warning This can only be used with /d option h bernate the local computer This can only be used with the /f option e Document the reason for an unexpected shutdown of a computer m \\computer Specify the target computer t xxx Set time-out period before shutdown to xxx seconds The valid range is 0-600, with a default of 30 c "comment" Comment on the reason for the restart or shutdown Maximum of 127 characters allowed f Force running applications to close without forewarning users d p:xx:yy Provide the reason for the restart or shutdown p indicates that the restart or shutdown is planned xx is the major reason number (positive integer less than 256) yy is the minor reason number (positive integer less than 65536) Reasons on this computer: simplest way has to be to go onto CMD then type - shutdown -i - this will bring up a GUI.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
