i have two xboxes in a network, one has a big hdd so it plays "server" to the other box ( in a different room )
it would be nice to be able to iniated a shutdown from the client box.
can this be achieved via simple python script ?! is there already something like this?

a simple python command exists to stop the xbox locally.
to stop another xbox on your lan, it may be possible by creating a client/server connection using socket.your bid hdd xbox will wait for command (listening) and you client xbox, will send a command to turn of the other one.

i'm not sure what protocol you're using, but you could send a shutdown command via ftp: site shutdown
