Forum:Shutdown via telnet

Does anyone know if its possible to shut down the Screenplay pro via telnet, as if so which command to use? My device is located 3 floors down from my bedroom and I would be great if I could remote shutdown from the comfort of my bed :)

Thanks in advance

 * Hi TommyP, sorry I didn't respond sooner but I did not have any ideas until just today. I basically have all of those steps on my blog. Step 1) Set up to control player from remote machine. Step 2) Commands are listed here where you can shutdown. Combining with step 1, you can use the command echo "O" >> /tmp/command_sender.txt. That would put the player in standby. Unfortunately, once it is in standby, the remote access doesn't work again when you turn back on the player. So two different things you could do. You could reboot the player the next time either by turning it off/on at the front panel. Or you could type reboot in the telnet, which will reboot it. There may be another way to put it into standby, but I'm not familiar with it. Now, somebody else in the comments of my blog suggested a way to modify RootApp so that it would return from suspended mode and run a script. Well, you could try to modify that to get the tail command going again. --JCoug 02:40, February 7, 2010 (UTC)
