Shutting down a client machine from server using scripts
Hi,
i have several client machines connected to a server..how do i shutdown a specific client from server using shell scripts?? is it possible to use socket programming to establish a connection before doing this? (need a code in 'c')

Shell command would be:
Code:
echo "shutdown -h now" | ssh root@clientMachine

This will ask you for password. If you don't want to have to input passwd manually, you need to generate keys for passwordless ssh.

You can invoke this from C, by calling
Code:
system('echo "shutdown -h now" | ssh root@clientMachine');
