need advice on .bat file

[finger]

Howdy!

I have a dos program running on a laptop that I'd like to be able to shut down and restart using my palm pilot. I'm pretty sure I can activate any windows shortcut with an IR signal to my computer, what I need to learn is how to write a .bat file and what commands to put into it to get this to work.

The program I want to shut down is running on a laptop which I've got in a place that makes it difficult to access. It'd be great to be able to just send the laptop a kill signal from my palm to restart the program without pulling the laptop from its place, open the lid and start punching keys...



Does anyone know of any good sites that I could check out to learn how to write this .bat file? All the ones I've seen so far have just had commands for file and disk manipulation. I can't find a DOS command that wil either kill completely or restart an already running dos based program.
thanks

What OS is the laptop running? It would be much easier to do this if it was Win2k or WinXP. Here's a link for those commands in remote admin. If you don't have one of those OS's then try this link and this link and here's the main site for more batch file help. Hope this helped...
