hi, I want to run a script to shutdown of a netware (5.0.1) server from a remote Windows2000 server. Is it possible to do it with a batch file (if yes, what would be the batch file) or do we have to write a netware script and then run it from a dos command line? Thanx Omid

Why don't you user rconsole to shutdown the server?

Using a web browser it would also be possible to shutdown the server remotely.
Another option, which would require scripting on the NetWare side, would be to create a repeating cron job that runs either a Perl, NetBasic or Java application that searches for a specific file on the server, and if it finds it, deletes it, and then proceeds to run a shutdown NCF script file or issues the DOWN command via the console directly.
From the remote side, you would then ftp a file matching the file name that triggers a shutdown.
