Restarting or shutting down a host computer from a mobile device
You can restart or shut down a host computer to which you are connected. You
can give users an opportunity to save their work and close any open programs.
You can also choose to forcibly close programs that are running without warning
the host user. For example, you might want to forcibly close programs if you are
trying to restart or shut down a host computer that has become unresponsive. If
you choose to forcibly close programs, users will lose any data that has not been
saved. The remote management session ends after you send the command.
