    Install cygwin!  We put it on all out PC's at my kids school.  Make sure 
you have the sshd configured to
start as a service, and then run "shutdown -f -s now" via ssh (i.e. ssh pc -f 
"shutdown -f -s now").
Otherwise, you could get one of the multiple "native" (meaning no cygwin) 
shutdown commands and submit a remote
"at" job to do it.
