Controlling 2000 via the Command line

[Nicholas Brown 0]

Hi,

 

I want to control Win2000 via a telnet prompt when Im away. I have telnet setup and it works ok, but I dont know many commands.

 

What I need the commands for are:

 

[*]Shutdown

[*]Reboot

[*]View CPU/Ram Usage

[*]View Running Proccess

[/list=a]

 

anyone got any ideas?

 

Thanks in advance

What might help you is to type-"help" in a dos prompt. This lists all the dos commands. Im not sure about the things you are asking about though.

I would have thought I should be able to **** it down or reboot it via the com. prompt

Eh? Why did it block s.h.u.t?

You probably misspelled it with an I instead of a U

You probably mis-typed it or something.

As for shutting down your machine there is a prog called shutdown.exe which is available on the Win2k Resource Kit. I believe there's also a shareware file that does the same floating around somewhere. I think it can do both shutdown and restart, but I'm not sure on this.

Shutdown/Reboot -- shutdown.exe from the resource kit.

 

process/ram/cpu -- pmon.exe from the support tools (somewhere on the W2K CD)

Found a freeware program that does this at:
