Shutdown Computer From Distance

There's a small utility called "SHUTCMD.EXE" included in the Windows NT Resource Kit that you can use to shut down or restart a local or remote computer. To shut down a computer on your network ('SERVER1' being the name of the computer you want to shutdown):

SHUTCMD \\SERVER1 /Y

To shut down a remote computer connected to the Internet ('205.56.44.24' being the IP address of the computer you want to shutdown):

SHUTCMD \\205.56.44.24 /Y

NOTE: You must first logon to the computer that you're trying to reboot.
