Schutdown Windows from Embedded Linux server

Hello,

I'm looking for a solution to shutdown a windows server via a command initiated from a Linux machine.
The Linix Machine has an embedded Linux version that does not contain Samba.  Sending a link from a LUA script would be ideal.

Can shutter assist with this ?

Thanks,

Joris

Re: Schutdown Windows from Embedded Linux server

Yes, you can do it.

Enable Web Interface in Shutter options. Then, open it in your favorite browser and familiarize yourself with available functionality. Most operations can be activated with a call to a single URL, which you can do in Linux command line via wget or similar tools.

For example, a Shutdown action can be executed via:

http://127.0.0.1:8080/action?name=Shutdown

You can even enable protection of Web Interface and still use a single URL to execute Shutdown action:

http://username:password@127.0.0.1:8080/action?name=Shutdown

P.S. Specify 0.0.0.0 IP address in Web Interface to listen on all available network interfaces.
