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.

Is there an Axim equivalent (besides logging in via Telnet or VNC and executing the command on the remote system)?
