Hello everyone.

I'm looking for a way to automatically shutdown my computers on my small
home network following a backup.

i.e.
1. Amanda completes backup run
2. Backed-up clients shutdown
3. Amanda server shutdown

Thanks for any pointers.

Hi Nick

a possible suggestion is to write a shell scipt and as a command add to a cron job for all your computers. Thus create a user with neccessary permissions to start and shutdown services But not as Root Well I don't by convention it is not wise to run cron jobs if your server or client is exposed to the Wild Wild West.

Obviously, don't do this on an insecure network....  :-)
