stop-server

stop-server

Shutdown :zap: your computer using your phone or your tablet, from your bed or your couch ;)

Requires Node. Works on OS X, Linux and Windows.

Why?

For fun and because I usually watch movies on my computer.

Install

npm install -g stop-server && stop-server start

Additionally, on OS X and Linux you need to allow the poweroff command to be used without admin password:

# Run 'sudo visudo'
# Add
your-username ALL=NOPASSWD: /sbin/poweroff

Usage

Visit http://localhost:5709/qr.html on your computer and scan the QR code or go directly to http://your-local-ip:5709 from your phone/tablet.

Now if you press the stop button, your computer will be shutdown.

Uninstall

npm rm -g stop-server

How it works?

stop-server is a simple Express server. When you call DELETE http://192.168.x.y:5709, it runs poweroff (OS X, Linux) or shutdown (Windows).

stop-server is also automatically started on log in using user-startup.

Actually, you just need npm and a browser to enjoy it.
