Doubtlessly there is as you can can run management services, a la MMC, from remote pc. I haven't researched this myself. One thing you may want to consider is installing cygwin on the w2k machine to give yourself some standard unix functionality: ssh, X windows, and the like. On the original question, I've seen a single command shutdown tool for w2k, but can't remember what it's called. _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
