Command file not executing to shutdown linux based systems

[BillP]

We are testing PowerChute Network Shutdown for the following env.:

1 Exsi host with 2 test Windows server and vCenter appliance running on it

2 Physical Windows server

3 Physical Linux server.

The issue we have is that the linux physical server must be shutdown using a command file.  The command we are running is:

@START "" "C:\Program Files\APC\PowerChute\group1\bin\plink.exe" -ssh user@devtools.domain.local -pw $password shutdown now

The PowerChute service is running as local administrator. 

When running the batch file manually from an elevated command prompt it properly shuts down the linux server.  When PC is reporting that the command has been executed, the server does not shutdown.

Any suggestions and ideas are welcome.

Thank You

Peter
