Research direction

Start by locating the linbo_sync entry point and tracing how machines and their operating systems are selected. Compare the proposed SSH and net rpc shutdown commands, including timeout and authentication behavior; done means the feature can safely request shutdown for Linbo, Linux, and Windows machines.

Description

Feature request Low priority Needs agreement

Hi,

I think, it might be a nice to have feature to be able to shut down machines in Linbo_sync. It could work like this:

  • Linbo: ssh -o ConnectTimeout=2 -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -p 2222 root@$IP /sbin/poweroff
  • Linux: ssh -o ConnectTimeout=2 -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no root@$IP shutdown now
  • Windows: net rpc -S $IP -U global-admin%$PASSWORD shutdown -t 1 -f

For windows, it might be possible to use the --use-kerberos parameter. If that does not work, the user has to input their password. (see the docs)

Regards,
Dorian
