Help/Support [HELP] How could I shut down another Mac with my iphone via SSH?

BloodBound69 · July 28, 2015

Dear Family...

I was searching on google the other day how to shutdown another computer with a different computer.

As i searched more i came to the accepting conclusions that PC could shutdown only a PC if they were both on a network, and there were ways for a Mac to shut down another Mac or PC but not the other way around i guess, so i as i searched more, i found something called SSH i believe it uses Protocols to send commands remotely and which this method was connected to what i wanted to do so i told myself hey instead from a computer to computer, my phone is like a computer and compatible with a MAC so i went on a hunt and found that i could download terminal with cydia, and then Openssh but alot of the commands i was trying to use were not recognized for example Openssh would not know the command "sudo" even before i tried doing anything, i have almost no idea about how to really understand ssh but either i dont know what im doing, or Openssh is bootleg for IOS because i logged in to this aparrent Free Server but idk if its working or not and idk whats going on.

Any ideas on or comments on what should i do?

Objective: Shutdown a Mac with my iphone5c ios 8.4 on the same network via SSH, having partial access to the Mac but knowing the IP and the "Long Name" of the Mac

*Jailbreaked*

Iphone5c

IOS: 8.4.0

Terminal app>OpenSSH server

^ - Cydia

OpenSSH v6.0p1-11 Author Jay Freeman (Saurik)

You can use Server Auditor on iOS.
