Shutdown Linux from windows

[rawandnet]

Hi guys,

Is there any command that can be used by Linux that would enable windows machine to shutdown or reboot Linux server. I know about dlink.exe program, but i don't want to put third party software on my windows server.

Thanks

The normal way is to use 'shutdown -h now' or 'shutdown -r now' from a command prompt as the root user.

Can you log into this machine remotely from the Windwos host using ssh or similar? Maybe you can use VNC or NX to connect to it?

shutdown -h now >>shutdowns the computer.
shutdown -r now >>restarts
shutdown -s now >>sleep
but,you need to be root user to issue any of the above commands.

I agree with everyone's post these command will help shutdown or reboot your box. There is no extra commands needed to allow a windows box access besides sshd services. Just in case you can use a standalone tool call putty to connect and exec your commands via ssh .

Goodluck
