RE: [expert] w2k shutdown from mdk
Two functional answers, one sorta funny, one serious.. :-) 1. Don't patch the IIS server of the offending win2k machine.. then use the nimda hack to send cmd.exe a shutdown signal... thats sorta clean... :-) 2. Or you could setup ssh server on the win2k machine (google is your friend.) then write a script on the linux box, to log into the win2k machine and send it a shutdown signal... There might be an easier way. (like using the telnet server in win2k) but ssh is safer and more secure. rgds Frank -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Tony S.

Thanks for all the replies. I will go the Cygwin way with ssh as I want it in a script on my MDK box. It's for taking care of backing up my PC. Thanks again, Tony. p.s.

Re: [expert] w2k shutdown from mdk
Umm...for a server, use desktop to connect to the win box and the select shutdown. I usually have a toolbox set up somewhere with all the fun little reskit tools. Theres one called shutdown.exe that works a treat on a workstation or server - easiest way is connect to the toolbox and then run shutdown from there to shutdown the target. Format C: is probably the best way though On Thu, 21 Nov 2002 20:33, Tony S.

Re: [expert] w2k shutdown from mdk
I can think of a few options, none of them good. 1: Install VNC on both machines. 2: (if W2k Server) Install Terminal Services Remote Administration mode, Use a linux RDP client to connect to the W2K. I have seen a RDP client for Linux but can't remember where, a quick Google search should point you in the right direction. 3: (if W2K Server) Install the Telnet service on the W2k box. Execute the 'Shutdown' command via telnet. This requires the telnet service be configured to use Kerberos authentication and the Linux box be in the same kerboros domain. This would introduce many nasty security holes and I'm not sure it would work anyway. 4: Install a web server (IIS or Apache) and make CGI/ASP script to execute the 'shutdown' command. -Original Message- From: Tony S.
