Restarting a Computer
Apple Remote Desktop can restart a client computer. This has the same result as
choosing the Restart command from the client computer’s Apple menu.
Unless you’re trying to restart a client that supports lights-out management, you
cannot restart a computer that has a current status other than “Available.” Remote
Desktop also uses lights-out management when you force a restart.
To restart a computer:
1 Select a computer list in the Remote Desktop window.
2 Select one or more computers in the selected computer list.
3 Choose Manage > Restart.
4 Select the type of restart.
You can allow users to save les or cancel the restart, or you can force an immediate
restart, which causes the users to lose unsaved changes in any open les.
5 Click Restart.
Shutting Down a Computer
Apple Remote Desktop can shut down a client computer. This has the same result as
choosing the Shut Down command from the client computer’s Apple menu.
Unless you’re trying to shut down an client that supports lights-out management, you
cannot shut down a computer that has a status other than “Available.” Remote Desktop
also uses lights-out management when you force a shutdown.
If you shut down an Apple Remote Desktop client that doesn’t support lights-out
management, you can’t start it up using Remote Desktop.
The Shut Down command is especially useful when used with Energy Saver
preferences. You can set your client computers to start up every morning at a
designated time and use Remote Desktop to shut them down at night. The next
morning, they’ll start up and be ready to administer.
To shut down a computer:
1 Select a computer list in the Remote Desktop window.
2 Select one or more computers in the selected computer list.
3 Choose Manage > Shut Down.
4 Select the type of shutdown.
