I've written a litte background application that runs under MacOS and allows me
to issue a shutdown from Linux using a simple UDP protocol (it can also be
requested to map appleshare volumes). It would be easy to change the MOL SIGTERM
handler to issue a clean shutdown (and to bail out after a timeout if MacOS
couldn't shut down nicely). Let me know if you'd find this useful and I can
provide a patch and a copy of the daemon.
