If you create a private-public pair with ssh-keygen you can access to
the other machine without a password. Then your script would call ssh
and probably "sudo /sbin/poweroff" as a parameter to halt the remote
machine.
Thanks for all your suggestions, as I basically wanted to create an icon
on the desktop to turn off the firewall/server, I went with expect. I
also discovered cygwin on my journeys so am very happy - I just have a
single script for all systems.
I didn't read the docs carefully enough, and didn't see that autoexpect
is just a script, so downloading from the expect site + gentoo expect
solved it for gentoo.
Cheers
Antoine
