I'm trying to be able to send a SHUTDOWN command to a PC on my LAN from the ISY.  I've searched the forums but cannot figure out a way to do it.   I've also searched the web and found a command that can be sent from another computer on the same LAN which looks something like this:     shutdown /s /m \\remote-computer

...but I don't know how to make the ISY send that command. Unfortunately I'm not a programmer but I follow instructions well and have been able to successfully configure my Network Resources on my ISY to do lots of other things from the help provided in this forum (like sending to Pushover and talking to my alarm system).  Any help would be appreciated.

Here is a link to a post within a discussion on pulling variables from an ISY. 

The post talks about remotely executing programs on another computer and references an application called "SayWhat".  I just tried the "Windows 9x, ME, NT, 2000, XP" version on a Windows 10 desktop and it worked.  You'd need to create a ".bat" file that contained the shutdown command and put it in the SayWhat "actions" folder.  Next you'd have to configure the Windows 10 firewall to allow the ISY to get through to port 1080 on the PC.  Then a network resource on the ISY should be able to execute the "shutdown.bat" file on the PC.  Finally you'd have to set SayWhat to run at startup on the PC.
