Pc shutdown

[DonJ]

hi,
here is my problem: i basically stream all videos from my pc and watch em on my xbox from my loft bed. since i am too lazy to go down my bed to switch of my pc (which would be nice cause the fan noise is rather annoying), it would be nice if there would be a feature to switch of my pc from the xbox somehow.

i am not sure how this could be implemented. is there some windows feature for remote shutdown? or would u need an additional server application?

this would definetley improve my sleeping :)

thx

there is a python script that does exactly this. it's called shutdownpconlan. i suggest you check out xbmcscripts.com (http://www.xbmcscripts.com) under the "communication" group.

it requires some software to be running on your pc, but it is included and takes up very little pc memory.

definitely worthwhile. with the wake on lan script and this combined into a single script, you can turn your pc on and off with one button!!!
