I have been using this tool as a service for 5 years and it is great. My only issue is that with Windows 7 it will shut the computer down but not display the warning. Any ideas there?

You can use tool shutdown.exe. It just needs to be run with parameter -f (forced shutting down) .. so you need to execute ‘shutdown.exe -s -f -m \\computer_name’

guys,

poweroff is a good app, been using it for years to shutdown my PC following scans downloads etc etc overnight. I need a WAN / Internet capable WOL applet, which sadly poweroff is not. Its LAN only.

Ive searched and found loads, but all barring one is LAN only, and that one is a cmd line instruction that i just cant get to work. I’d prefer a GUI type if possible. I know there are a couple of websites out there that yyou can supposedly use but not having a lot of success with them either.

Any of you guys have any tried and trusted suggestions please?

PS to reply, swap the dot in the EM addy for a dot :-)
