ssh to shut down a remote pc

[jorgenbl]

Hi,

I'm running some shell commands on a unix box via http. Not the best (and secure) solution, but an option if nobody has a better one.

Event script to call command:

require('socket.http')
if (event.getvalue()) then
 url = 'http://x.x.x.x:8088/?cmd=/home/pi/tdtool.py%20--on%XXXXXXXX'
res, err = socket.http.request(url)
else
 url = 'http://x.x.x.x:8088/?cmd=/home/pi/tdtool.py%20--off%XXXXXXXX'
res, err = socket.http.request(url)
end

You could probably shutdown your server with something like:
 url = 'http://x.x.x.x:8088/?cmd=shutdown%20-h%20now'
res, err = socket.http.request(url)

Where x.x.x.x is your HTPC with node installed and the script in the url I posted running.
