Remote shutdown/restart through command prompt

[EGOvoruhk]

Is there a way to do it through command prompt?

Right now, I'm just using Remote Desktop, and doing a shutdown /r command there. It would be so much easier if I could do it through command prompt, that way I could set up some batch files for the PCs that I need to reboot often

I've been looking into the net command, and it looks like it might be possible

Thanks in advance guys

You can use shutdown command to shutdown a remote computer.

Normally what I do is "shutdown -f -m \\machine -t 00 -r"

-f = force switch, causes applications to close down without asking for confirmation (such as, there is unsaved data, do you want to save)

-m = specifies remote machine, ie: -m \\192.168.0.1

-t = specified, in seconds, how soon the command will be executed, 00 means it gets executed immediately

-r = restart command, you can also do -s to shutdown (just don't use -r and -s at the same time, of course). You cannot, however, do a remote logout using this command.

Hope this helps at all

Another alternative, if needed.
