Restarting or shutting down a host computer
Symantec pcAnywhere lets you automatically restart or shut down a host computer
after the queue file runs. To use these features, the host and remote computers
must have the remote management components installed.
You can configure options for saving data and notifying the host user about the
action that you are about to perform. You can prompt users to close open programs
and save their work. You can also configure pcAnywhere to forcibly close open
programs without saving data. This lets pcAnywhere close programs that might
require user interaction to end a task (for example, saving a document). Some
programs do not support forcible termination.
