I'd like to have my Linux box (a QNAP TS-210 NAS) send the order to go to sleep (or hibernation) to my main Windows 7 computer.
As the NAS is running Linux, I can't use psshutdown
from SysInternals' PsTools. Is there any Linux equivalent? Or some "magic packet" that can order the Win7 computer to sleep.
I know I could install a SSH daemon and trigger a shutdown
command from the Linux box using ssh, but ideally I do not want to install anything on the Win7 computer.
I can install Linux software on the NAS, no problem about this. PHP, python and perl are also available on it.

@MrStatic: Thanks for the link. The NAS has an ARM CPU, it cannot run Wine. – Snark – 2010-02-13T22:16:54.253
