Re: Shutdown instance from remote machine

To make a long story short, I use rcmd.exe from the Windows Resource Kit. With this utility you can run "any" commands (including set oracle_sid - svrmgrl - shutdown - startup) from a remote computer, as if you were on the local server at a command prompt window.

Hope this helps.
