How to Switch off a Unix machine abruptly

Hi Folks,

My UNIX machine is placed geographically in another location. I have a remote access towards it. I want to abruptly switch off my unix machine through remote connection. Is it possible through any UNIX commands? I practically want to power off a PC , something like unplugging a power cable of a machine which doesnt has a UPS connected to it. Is it possible via any software or statements?

Thanks in advance
