Power down a headless cube - p8712 - 02-01-2017
Say I have a G4 cube running 10.5 or 10.5 running headless - I can turn it on easy enough, but is there an easy way to turn it off without using a monitor?

Remote Desktop in and shut down from the Apple menu is what I always do for a headless box.

I could use VNC on an ipad, right?

could do it remotely via the terminal

Yeah, I'd just need to know the ip. Might work.

If it has screensharing enabled, just use Command+K in the Finder. Connect to server via vnc://[ip address] and log in as an admin when prompted. Shut it down from the Apple menu like any other Mac.
...For the Terminal command, would have to have remote login enabled in the Sharing settings.
ssh [user]@[ip address]
sudo shutdown -h now

Can't you just hold the power button till it shuts off-a hard shutdown?

we can no longer shut down Macs from the power button? I always assumed this was possible. I just tried it (MBP 2011, 10.9.5) and it does not shut down from the power button. Hmm...

Yeah, pulling out is dubious at best.
