Shut down one or more machines with this rebooting software.
EMCO Remote Shutdown is a network solution that allows you to centrally manage PCs in the local network. Using it you can select one or multiple PCs in the network and launch their shutdown, wake up, reboot and other typical PC management operations. All operations are customizable. For example, when you run remote shutdown, you can choose a options to display a message on remote PCs and allow remote users to cancel a shutdown.
Quite a lot of features. Large amount of help pages, which is good because interface leaves much to be desired.
Cons
I want to power off, not to shut down. But it does not work right.
<p>Also does not install completely.

<p>It's so fraudulent to specify a much lesser price here! Fool people just to stimulate downloads! No wonder if this is not the only place, where they fool us!
Summary
Nice, but with a few limitations
Pros
Cons
Summary
The software works as promised, but the version listed here, 1.4, has limited capability since it's free. I scheduled a job for just about midnight at my company, but it changes the time to PM instead of AM. The developer tells me that you have to buy version 2.0 to have full scheduling. Also, it's impossible to schedule a job for "today". If you schedule a job for today, it will change the date to tomorrow to avoid "recursion"...why, I don't know. But the program is nice and pretty easy to use.
Works

Summary
It does shutdown the PC but not power off. Somethings not working.
It crashes too often and won't shut down a machine because
Pros
Cons
Summary
It crashes too often and won't shut down a machine because a confirmation dialog box pops up on the machine being shut down to warn them that shutting down will disconnect the user attached to their machine, thus there has to be a user at the manhine being shut down. I guess they didn't consider this. They didn't include a workaround for it.
