Run a remote listener using something like netcat
http://www.vulnwatch.org/netcat/readment.txt

This is Microsoft's command line instructions for shutdown

* rundll32.exe shell32.dll,SHExitWindowsEx n

where n is one, or a combination of, the following numbers:

* 0 - LOGOFF
* 1 - SHUTDOWN
* 2 - REBOOT
* 4 - FORCE
* 8 - POWEROFF

The above options can be combined into one value to achieve different
results. For example, to restart Windows forcefully, without querying
any running programs, use the following command line:

rundll32.exe shell32.dll,SHExitWindowsEx 6
NOTE: Using the FORCE option can cause programs to lose data.

Below is an explanation of each available option used with the above
command line:

* LOGOFF - Shuts down all running processes, then logs the user
off.
* POWEROFF - Shuts down the system and turns off the power. The
system must support the power-off feature.
* REBOOT - Shuts down the system and then restarts the system.
* SHUTDOWN - Shuts down the system to a point at which it is safe
to turn off the power. All file buffers have been flushed to disk, and
all running processes have stopped.
* FORCE - Forces processes to terminate. When this flag is set,
Windows does not query running applications to inform them that
Windows is shutting down. This can cause the applications to lose
data, therefore, you should only use this flag in an emergency.
