RemoteShutdown allows an NT/2K/XP Administrator to remotely shutdown any number of NT/2K/XP Workstations over which they have administrative control via either a GUI interface or a command-line interface.
You can specify a delay, which can either be an absolute time (eg. 8pm) or a relative time (eg. "20 minutes from now"), during which a message you specify can be displayed. Alternatively you can specify a shutdown without warning. Applications running on the target machine(s) at the time of shutdown can be allowed to close, or can be terminated immediately.
Whilst a delayed remote shutdown is taking place, you can abort the shutdown of any or all of the workstations on the shutdown list.
You can also perform a delayed shutdown of your own (local) machine, with optional support for APM power-off
Options can be set via both a GUI and a command-line interface. Groups of workstations can be specified in the GUI and saved* for use later with either the GUI or command-line interface, allowing repetitive automated shutdowns to be performed.
To make full use of RemoteShutdown you must be running Windows NT/2K/XP. Whilst you can still do local delayed shutdowns under Windows95/98/ME, remote shutdowns are not supported. Remote Shutdown is licensed as shareware, the cost of the registered version is $39 and full download size is 0.28 MB. You can download a free version of Remote Shutdown by following download link at Free Downloads section of this page. Remote Shutdown is developed or distributed by Coruscant Ltd. and is listed under networking network admin system utilities.
