I have Teamviewer installed on the target machine as a service so it can work unattended. I was using it just fine and then suddenly I got kicked from the session. Now when I try to reconnect a session it says "This session is finished."
Is there anyway that I can get Teamviewer to restart the machine without having to actually log in?
Tried other methods like CMD shutdown -r -f -m \\my.ip. I'm open to any other suggestions. I do have remote access to my router if that can help me at all.
Is it possible to send a restart packet in the same way that WOL sends a startup packet?

It seems I can't make a VPN connection from my computer. I assume it's blocked at work. I made a VPN connection from my phone using the built in Asus VPN of my router. Any suggestions how to reboot from that? – Vian Esterhuizen – 2012-10-09T18:00:06.990
Use Teamviewer or RDP app from your phone, buy you will need to log in to remote computer. – Mike – 2012-10-09T18:26:25.813
Logging in is not possible. Gives me the same error. – Vian Esterhuizen – 2012-10-09T18:40:43.403
Tethering your work PC to your phone and running the shutdown command for the remote pc may work. – Mike – 2012-10-09T19:01:05.720
1While it won't help you now, you could set up outlook to run on the remote computer with a rule to run a program on receiving a certain type of email i.e. from your email address with subject = "Shutdown PC" which runs a .bat file containing 'shutdown -r -f -t 0' – Mike – 2012-10-09T19:09:18.180
Tried the VPN/Tether but didn't seem to work. Thank you though – Vian Esterhuizen – 2012-10-09T19:32:36.880
