Remote shutdown of Windows XP

I just needed to do that...and so for you all to know...because the day will come when you need to shutdown XP... ;-)

shutdown /m \\Name-of-PC-to-shutdown /f /s

/m \\Remote-PC --> obviously the option to call the remote computer by name
or IP
/f             --> forces closing of all running applications
/s             --> shutdown of PC

alternative options:

/r --> reboots the PC
/t --> set time limit for shutdown in [s]

for more info just type

shutdown /?

at the command prompt

cheers
