Probably already been mentioned, but I just had a need to restart my office desktop computer from home (after a very long TSC session).

Here are the instructions to setup a desktop shortcut on a remote computer that when executed will shutdown then restart, allowing you to initiate a new remote client session.

pretty handy (will work with any remote client software)

To create a restart shortcut on the desktop:

Right click on an open area of the desktop
Select New / Shortcut

Enter in "shutdown -r -t 00" - no quotes

Press the Next button
For the name, enter in anything you like. I just use shutdown. Click on the Finish button.

For a shutdown (no restart), enter "shutdown -s -t 00"

Shutdown [{-l|-s|-r|-a}] [-f] [-m [\\ComputerName]] [-t xx] [-c "message"] [-d[u][p]:xx:yy]

Parameters

-l - Logs off the current user, this is also the defualt. -m ComputerName takes precedence.
-s - Shuts down the local computer.
-r - Reboots after shutdown.
-a - Aborts shutdown. Ignores other parameters, except -l and ComputerName. You can only use -a during the time-out period.
-f - Forces running applications to close.
-m [\\ComputerName] - Specifies the computer that you want to shut down.
-t xx - Sets the timer for system shutdown in xx seconds. The default is 20 seconds.
-c "message" - Specifies a message to be displayed in the Message area of the System Shutdown window. You can use a maximum of 127 characters. You must enclose the message in quotation marks.
