Send remote computer a message



Hi all.

I am currently developin a Java application that is capable of
shutting down computers. I would like to send a message to the
computers to be shutdown a five minute warning so users are aware that
the computers are being shutdown. Is there a way that I can send a
message a remote computer on a network.

Any help in this matter would be highly appreciated.

Thank you

.
