Quote:I've had a bit of experiance with the remote shutdown feature in xp:
Firstly make sure that the messenger service is switched on in the services section of admistritive tools, then goto start > run > cmd > "shutdown -i" then it should bring up a box saying "remote shutdown" then click add then the name of the computer on your network then click ok, at the bottom put a comment in i.e shutdown for maintainence, then click ok, if its worked there should be a box on the screen saying something like "your computer is in the middle of shutting down for maintainence"
what i'll do is i'll take some screenshots so that it explains better later on.
oh, thanks, but that still gives me an error, ive tried it. but i've already figured it out another way. i made two batch files on my PC and just have to make a desktop connection and activate them.
Code:shutdown /s /t 00
For an immediate shutdown, and
Code:shutdown /r /t 00
For a restart.
(P.S. I know my way around DOS
. I already wrote my own program
)
It's incredibly simple but:
Code:@echo off
title Macilizer
echo Macilizer starting...
ping -n 1 -w 2000 1.1.1.1 >nul
echo Initializing...
ping -n 1 -w 500 1.1.1.1 >nul
Choice /M "Do You Want To Run Mac Look-Alike Programs?"
If %errorlevel% EQU 2 goto no
If %errorlevel% EQU 1 goto yes
:yes
echo Starting Battery Meter
ping -n 1 -w 2000 1.1.1.1 >nul
start "" "C:\Program Files\Mioplanet Battery Meter\Mioplanet Battery Meter.exe"
echo Starting Konfablator
ping -n 1 -w 2000 1.1.1.1 >nul

echo Starting Object Dock
ping -n 1 -w 2000 1.1.1.1 >nul
start "" "C:\Program Files\Stardock\ObjectDock\ObjectDock.exe"
ping -n 1 -w 2000 1.1.1.1 >nul
echo Exiting....
ping -n 1 -w 2000 1.1.1.1 >nul
exit
:no
