Title: Shutdown Computer from MC/Netremote?
Post by: soren on June 15, 2005, 03:34:35 pm: Is there a command that can be sent to MC from Netremote, that shuts down the computer or sends
it into hibernate. I don't have a screen connected to my computer ...

But if you don't need to do it remotely, you could always configure power options so that pressing the power button sends the computer into hibernation (for faster startup) or turns it off. Otherwise I think this calls for Girder.

I thought there might be something in MC that could do this .. isn't there a shutdown option
in theater mode?. I don't have MC on this computer, so I cannot look at the moment.

Last time I tried to get the computer to shutdown when pressing the powerbutton on the case, it wouldn't!
Anyway ... I think remote shutdown would be a nice feature?

A Hibernte command would be VERY useful - as with the alphabetical/numeric jump-to-first-letter already requested.

http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/nircmd2.html . It allows hibernation etc via cmd
