Wake on LAN and Shutdown for Windows and Linux

[diffuser78]

I am using 8 computers on a small network. I have one Main computer
which should be able to remotely start other computers. I used Wake on
LAN to start them all.

My Main computer is Linux.

Other 4 are Windows and 3 are Linux.

How can I shutdown Windows box from my Main (Linux) ?

Also, How can I shutdown other Linux terminals from my Main (Linux) ?


Help is appreciated.

Has this got anything to do with Python?

I could actually see that as a useful python function if i was writing
some type of manager for a computing farm or something like that.

Have you seen this?

it probably won't work on linux (maybe with wine or similar?), but you
can try to invoke this script on a windows machine somehow...

have fun, David.

Thanks, In fact I checked that.

I thought that any other literature would help.

because you can write scripts in python so easily as compared to other
scripting languages.

Uhm... Telnet into the other workstations using the root account (or
some other account with the needed privileges) and execute the machine
specific shutdown command (and disconnect the Telnet session before it
shuts down so you don't accidentally trigger another "wake"?)?

Windows is the hard one...
