Is it possible to restart a computer over the internet via command prompt?
I know you can restart/shutdown in network using:
shutdown /m \\mycomputer /r /t 0
I have been able to use this in conjunction with VPN to restart my computer. But I was wondering if there was a way to use the IP address and perhaps an open port to send the command to the remote computer. Is this possible?
Given that telnet is one of the frequently-scanned ports, you should consider forwarding a different, high number port such as 6901 to port 23 on your network. When you telnet in, you just need to specify the port and you're away, but it will make things much harder for Internet Bad Guys. – mauvedeity – 2011-11-27T19:55:13.170
or better yet, use ssh, winrm , rsh or the remote access capabilities of powershell
