Shutdown on LAN?

---

Hey all,

Using my Hero to send Wake on LAN packets to my home PC either manually or via Locale when I get near my house, it all works great.

My question is are there any apps that can shut a PC down remotely too?

Thanks

Russ

how are you doing this please mate? let me know if you get anything re: shutting down too. thanks,
yans.

WOL is a bios function, shutdown is a OS function. Your only bet is along the lines of

ssh user@desktophostname shutdown -h now

I know there are commands than can be sent to a windows PC but its sending it from my Hero that's the issue

Yans - There are wake on lan apps for the Hero on the market, including a plugin for Locale, then you just need to do some googling for information on setting your PC up to accept the "magic packets"

i use vnc to shutdown windows

You can always use BsoDroid, if your pc is under vista/w7.

Sorry but it only reboots the PC
