Need samba-common package first, install via apt:
$ sudo apt-get install samba-common
Then use this command to shutdown the computer remotely(replace ip
, username
and password
with your own):
$ net rpc shutdown --ipaddress ip --user username%password
Add -r if you want to restart, not shutdown:
$ net rpc shutdown -r --ipaddress ip --user username%password
After execution, here is the success message:
Shutdown of remote machine succeeded
If receive these messages below means something failed:
Could not connect to server 192.168.1.55
Connection failed: NT_STATUS_IO_TIMEOUT
Connection failed: NT_STATUS_RESOURCE_NAME_NOT_FOUND
Could not initialise pipe winreg. Error was NT_STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_NOT_FOUND
