    To shutdown remote machine

    shutdown -s -f -m \\remotecomputername

    To restart remote machine

    shutdown -r -f -m \\remotecomputername

    If you make this mistake you have 30 seconds to cancel the Windows shutdown with the -a switch.

    -a Is for abort. This it only works during the time-out period

    shutdown -a

    How do you remotely shutdown an XP host from a linux machine? I know that you can use 

    shutdown /s /f /m \IP_GOES_HERE

    From windows, but how would you do that from linux? (wine does not port the shutdown command)

    Does the psshutdown tool from SysInternals (nor part of MS) work under Wine? Probably not, but might be worth a try.

    Failing that you could install cygwin's OpenSSH port (or some other SSH server service) and use that to login and call Windows' own local shutdown command - this would be a one line command/script.

    If you create a shortcut link to this from the windows machine you can simply do it that way.

    Put this in the Target text box: C:\WINDOWS\system32\shutdown.exe -s -f -c "Shutdown!" -t 10

    Put this in the Start in text box: C:\Windows\System32

    I used the psshutdown, but had a different method. I had Outlook open on the machine 24/7 and if it received an email from my email account only, with a random set of words in it, the rule would run psshutdown

    you could try this you could even use this mthod to shiut the computer off from a text message! :)

    psshutdown doesn't work from wine for some reason.

    however, 

    net rpc shutdown -I xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -U username%password

    works if all the proper steps have been taken
