Performing remote SHUTDOWN?

» close window

The Question is:

 
It is possible to perform a machine restart over a remote TCPIP connection.
 
I have tried attempted to shutdown the system using @sys$system:shutdown and the
shutdown node function in sysmgr. In both cases it aborts the shutdown process
once TCPIP services is shutdown. Also tried submitting the sysmgr shutdown node
command as a ba tch job, with little success.
 
Any help is appreciated
 
 

The Answer is :

 
  Yes, this is possible.
 
  You will need an environment that is not stopped as part of the shutdown
  process -- processing in batch and network processes tends to be halted.
 
  Create a detached job ("other" mode) running DCL for this purpose.
 
    RUN/DETACHED.../INPUT=YourDclCommands.COM SYS$SYSTEM:LOGINOUT.EXE
 
  Where you have your specific commands located in the specified DCL
  command procedure -- invoke @SYS$SYSTEM:SHUTDOWN with the required
  parameter(s) in that procedure.
