DSM-G600, DNS-3xx and NSA-220 Hack Forum

While Fordem is completely right (i.e. something could be writing to the NAS and killing the power will cause corruption) a few thoughts come to mind.

1.
You could get round it by having a watch script running on the DNS that looks for a file and when found runs the shotdown command on the NAS to shot itself down.  Downside is you would have to put a copy of the 'trigger' file in the watched directory before shutting down.

2.
As with 1. but you could shutdown your windows machine (works with XP not sure abount any others) vi a batch file which would copy over the trigger file then run the shutdown command on your Windows box so to you it looks like you just click the icon and both shutdown.

3.
You could have a script that pings your workstation and if not found for, say 10 minutes then runs the NAS shutdown.

4.
You could have an icon that telnets to the NAS and runs a script which shuts down the NAS by running the shutdown command.

Whilst the DNS-323 doesn't seem to have the shutdown command it does have the reboot and poweroff commands in /sbin although I have not tried them.

THanks fordem.

Might be interesting to take a look.  Remote shutdown without the web interface login may be quite useful.

Windows XP also has a shutdown command that can be run from a batch file.

If you remember there was a virus going around which would pop up the 'system is shutting down in 10 seconds' message then shutdown your desktop.  The virus was just invoking the shutdown command.  The temp fix was to run a shutdown -a which aborted it from the command prompt.

C:\>shutdown -h
Usage: shutdown [-i | -l | -s | -r | -a] [-f] [-m \\computername] [-t xx] [-c "comment"] [-d up:xx:yy]

        No args                 Display this message (same as -?)
        -i                      Display GUI interface, must be the first option
        -l                      Log off (cannot be used with -m option)
        -s                      Shutdown the computer
        -r                      Shutdown and restart the computer
        -a                      Abort a system shutdown
        -m \\computername       Remote computer to shutdown/restart/abort
        -t xx                   Set timeout for shutdown to xx seconds
        -c "comment"            Shutdown comment (maximum of 127 characters)
        -f                      Forces running applications to close without warning
        -d [u][p]:xx:yy         The reason code for the shutdown
                                u is the user code
                                p is a planned shutdown code
                                xx is the major reason code (positive integer less than 256)
                                yy is the minor reason code (positive integer less than 65536)

C:\>


Put something like;

copy shutdown-dns.txt \\DNS-323\Volume_1\systmp\shutdown
shutdown -s -t 20

In dns-shutdown.bat saved on your c:

create a new text doc called shutdown-dns.txt and save int he same location as the .bat file

Create a new desktop shortcut to point to the .bat file for shutting down both the PC and DNS.

create a script in the ffp/start directory with something like the following in it

ln -s /tmp /mnt/HD_a2/systmp

chmod 777 [script name]

You should be done.

Clicking the shutdown icon on your desktop should prompy the DNS to shutdown within 5 seconds and the PC to shutdown in 20 seconds,

This code has not been tested so please try at your own risk but the theory is sound.

I will look aty making a shutdown scrip tfor my trigger_check suite of scripts to allow the starting / stoping of scripts / progs by placing trigger files in a directory on the NAS.
