> how i can shutdown another computer in my networks

linux (I suggest, there is a windows-cli-command called “shutdown”, which works for remote windows systems to shut them down or reboot them too, but I don’t know any details):

1.) a) install an ssh-server (and client) on your remote linux computer
1.) b) install an ssh-client (windows: f.i. PuTTY)
2.) connect to remote linux system (linux: > ssh @
3.) use ‘sudo reboot’ for reboot or ‘sudo poweroff’ to power off the remote linux system

another hint:

‘halt’ is NOT equal to ‘poweroff’ (tested on ubuntu 11.10)

If you use ‘sudo halt’ on linux cli, the system will shut down, but not power off, so you have to push to power off button (or power off the virtual machine) manually.
‘sudo poweroff’ will additionally power off the computer (or the VM).

The command shutdown -P 0 does not eject my cd-tray with the backtrack4 DVD.Does anybody know of other commands?I have also tried commands as poweroff,eject,logout,exit .
In Backtrack 3 the dvd gets ejected without problems when logging out,so I don’t think there is anything wrong with my cd-rom station.I have also tried to burn the backtrack4 iso-image to other DVD’s of other brands,but the same problem persists;the cd tray will not eject when logging out.
(Note that Backtrack 4 is ubuntu-based)

shutdown -r now gives me:

Broadcast message from adminuser@domain.com
(/dev/pts/2) at 16:55 …

The system is going down for reboot NOW!

But then nothing happens. Might there be a process stopping the shutdown? How do I go about finding out which one so I can kill it – I can’t find anything of relevance in any of the /var/log files
