[Kieran McKenna]

Yes. Check out

a whole line of them. I have seen others as well, just can't remember who
off the top of my head

Is there any such thing as a "power strip with an IP address" for
situations like this? If you can't do it any other way, power cycle the bad
boy remotely. This would be a very handy gadget.

One workaround is psshutdown.exe. It's available at sysinternals.com in
the misc utils section. You can force a reboot of a remote windows
system with it. If the machine is already in shutdown mode, you can use
pslist and pskill to find and nuke whatever it is that is holding up the
reboot process.

I use this fairly often to reboot machines when pcanywhere chokes and
won't let anyone connect.

I don't remember any good reason why vnc can't shut down last but there
was some discussion of it here a while ago.
