I'm looking for a small, free Windows app that will allow me to execute a command line on a remote PC over the net - to start a program or reboot.

The reason is this; I normally leave TeamViewer running on my machine at work and then remote-desktop from home when I need to check on anything, but I have found that TV is incompatible with something else I occasionally run at work and crashes my system (like - big red button stuff). So I leave TV off and start it before I go home - if I remember.

I therefore need a lightweight program that runs all the time and will allow me to fire up TV or reboot from home.

I realise one way would be to start TV in a scheduled task at 6pm, but being able to execute a command line to reboot the machine would be useful in general to resurrect a scrambled machine at work.

I could just use something else like VNC but I like TV. It does the job well and requires the minimum of user interaction to connect to the remote PC

ok, here's a few possible tools that'll help - nircmd has a bunch of options including the ability to kill tasks by windows, and you can shutdown with the native shutdown command.

As for starting teamviewer, i'd take a look at using akira and dropbox or a ssh server such as freessh or copssh and putty (possibly)
