remote shutdown

Ok, this is kind of pushing the envelope, giving that I am already leaving tomorrow, but...

I am leaving town for the weekend, and I am fixing to leave my system on. However I'd like to be able to disconnect it from the net and shut it down manually over the Internet from another computer during my trip, if needed.

Is there a fairly easy way to do this?

I'm using Windows XP Pro.

Install the msblast.exe worm?

You could probably install WinVNC and connect to it remotely (assuming firewalls are non-existant or set up correctly). WinVNC allows you to remotely control your computer from your desktop. You could set it up to shutdown (although you'll have no guarentee (sp?) of success as part of shutting down includes killing the WinVNC server and closing the internet connection). If you're 99% that your machine would shut down by itself without you intervening (for whatever reason), go for WinVNC.

Good luck!

Turn on the Windows Remote Desktop and you can connect and do it over the web.

You can either use VNC, SSH, or Telnet.

Telnet will be the best if you have a slow ASS internet connection upload bandwidth. Just type a command and BOOM.
