PowerOff 1.0.1.0
PowerOff 1.0.1.0 Description:
The PowerOff application was designed to be a tool that you can use to remotely power off machines across the network. This is something that to my knowledge no other tool can do currently. Of course, there is the shutdown.exe utility from the Windows NT Resource Kit, but shutdown.exe can only either shutdown the target machine into the state where you see the "It is now safe to turn off your computer"-dialog or reboot the target machine.
Because shutdown.exe merely wraps the InitiateSystemShutdown and AbortSystemShutdown APIs, it cannot power off a machine. The only API that can do so, is ExitWindowsEx. Unfortunately, ExitWindowsEx does not transparently work across machine boundaries, you have to do some trickery to get that done, like my PowerOff utility does.
PowerOff simply interprets the first non-option argument it gets as the target host to power off and the second non-option argument argument as an optional user name. If you don't supply the user name, PowerOff will use the current user to power off the target host.
Note that this user has to be a member of the local administrators group on the target machine. If you supply a user name, PowerOff will ask you the password of that user, who again has to be a member of the target hosts local administrator group.
Currently, two option argument exist: The "/f" option will force a power off, which means, the standard message WM_QUERYENDSESSION and WM_ENDSESSION will not be sent to the running applications. The "/h" option will kill "hung" applications on WIN2K, even if they don't respond to the before mentioned messages.
Note that using these options is mutually exclusive and can lead to a potential loss of data, because currently running applications might not be able to save their data.
