morgang Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 I don't believe the unix command line shutdown will work on a remote XP box. If you can remote desktop into it, you can go to start | run then type (options are -shutdown -force quit all programs -time 60seconds): shutdown -s -f -t 60 (Just shutdown at the command line will tell you about the options.)

-elfloj0- Posted November 16, 2008 Author Share Posted November 16, 2008 Would this work if I set up ssh on the XP box and ssh'd from OSX ?

Adrian Fogge Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 OpenSSH would work for you. One other possibility if you are in the same network segment would be to setup wine on your Mac and copy the shutdown command from a Windows install to your wine install and issue the following command... shutdown \\computername /l /a /r /t:xx "msg" /y /c ~Adrian Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/136765-remote-shutdown-winxp-from-mac-os-x/#findComment-969655 Share on other sites More sharing options...
