I see that others have answered the question pretty completely, but just to add the obligatory WMI solution: [ assumes you're using the wmi module from http://tgolden.sc.sabren.com/python/wmi.html ] <code> import wmi c = wmi.WMI (computer="other_machine", privileges=["RemoteShutdown"]) os = c.Win32_OperatingSystem (Primary=1)[0] os.Win32Shutdown (Flags=12) </code> The Flags=12 bit should shut down all the way.
