In Windows (XP, at least and maybe more) you can run the shutdown
command from a command line (i.e. using System Exec).
This has proven useful for us in remote desktop sessions when you need
to force a reboot.
I've listed the arguments below.
Good luck,
Ben

Daniel,
You asked:

My connection of snippets from this forum has this from a couple of
