How do I shutdown remote Linux or UNIX system from MS-Windows system?
You can use secure shell (ssh), a network protocol for remote administration of Linux and Unix based computers. SSH is typically used to log into a remote server and execute commands such as reboot or shutdown.
PuTTY SSH Client
PuTTY is a free and open source terminal emulator application which can act as a client for the SSH under MS-Windows operating system. Visit this page and download putty client. In order to use putty you need to know:
- IP or Server Name: The name of the Linux or UNIX server you want to connect to.
- Username and password: Login name or password to used on your server.
If you don’t know what login name or password to use, contact the administrator of your server.
# shutdown -h now
OR
# /sbin/shutdown -h now
To reboot the system, enter:
# shutdown -r now
OR
# /sbin/reboot

What is the point?
And can explain me this again, please? Cause it doesn’t seam to work with my servers (not even laptop), cause I am using key based authentication and password authentication is off and won’t be turn on (it is insecure).
