LAN Shutdown Manager Description
The LAN Shutdown Manager application was developed to be a small program that allows you to run a very slim client on a Windows workstation that allows remote shutdown of the machine. The shutdown manager is command-line driven, with a few simple options to control shutdown of specific machines, broadcast, warnings, and scripting. These instructions are intended for a LAN administrator, so concepts and terms are NOT explained. Load the client program on each workstation you wish to have control over. I suggest putting this in the load= or run= lines in win.ini. Why not the startup group? Because the program will survive a logout, so if the someone were to log out, then log in, Windows will run the client twice and give the user an error. I can remove that, but it's a pain. Now, install the manager onto another machine. Do NOT run the client there, or you are likely to shut yourself down accidentally. Open up a command prompt and try a few things: MANAGER List the running shutdown clients MANAGER REBOOT Will reboot all machines MANAGER REBOOT * Same thing MANAGER SHUTDOWN computer-name Shutdown a single computer MANAGER SPEAK Display an annoying message MANAGER QUIT Close the shutdown client MANAGER /? Useful help information The commands are case-sensitive -- use all caps!
