Sending data through winsock...

[Gazz]

Can someone tell me how to send a shutdown command to a remote computer through Winsock?? I can't even connect at the moment so any help would be appreciated.

Cheerz, Gazz....

If you use NT try InitiateSystemShutdown function.

InitiateSystemShutdown(lpMachineName, lpMessage, dwTimeout, bForceAppsClosed, bRebootAfterShutdown)

InitiateSystemShutdown API will work only on NT. Besides, you have to have the other computer running your program (listen to the arriving data).

I just made a simple server that does this... It works, but has a few bugs which you can work out, but like I said it works.

Please lemme know if this works! e-mail or re-post! Thanx.
