You can also shutdown a windows box if you have samba installed.

"net rpc SHUTDOWN -C "some comment here" -f -I x.x.x.x -U user_name%password"

As long as the user you supplied has rights to shutdown the system it will work.

I wrote a bash script that scans our network and turns off all our system that are left on over night. If you are interested.



"#!/bin/bash

wks=(`nmap -sL --dns-servers 10.x.x.x,10.x.x.x 10.x.x.x/22, 10.x.x.x.x/23 grep FQDN|cut -d" " -f2 |grep -v -f serverlist`)

for (( i=0; i < "${#wks[@]}"; i++)); do
net rpc SHUTDOWN -C "This system was left on after hours and is being shutdown" -f -I "${wks[$i]}" -U user_name%password

done"



Basically what the script does is scans the network(s) with nmap, pipes it though grep and cut to get the FQDN. Then "grep -v -f serverlist" is an exclude list of server I don't want shutdown. From there it puts the workstations into an array and turns off each system.

Hope it helps
