Anybody know how to remote reboot a 95 workstation without SMS?

I need a free utility to remotely reboot win95/98 workstations. I would like it to be able to run from a server. Anybody know of anything that I could use. I have even thought of writing a program to do this myself, but I am not sure if I am up to that. Seems like a utility for that should be in the Resource kit for Windows NT, but the shutdown command it provides only seems to work on NT workstations.

Agamar, I've got your solution right here: VNC

I've used it on Win2K, 98SE, 98, 95 rev C, and as long as you know the IP or network name of the machine, and the program is running in listen mode on all machines to be remoted, you can do anything you want to them! :D It's as if you're sitting at that station's keyboard and mouse.
